A control strategy for reducing the torque ripple in low speed operation of direct torque controlled induction motor

A new switching table is proposed for decreasing the torque ripple in DTC especially in low speed. Each sector is divided to two half sector and a proper vector set is defined for each. Through this new switching table, the torque response is smooth even in the beginning of each sector and it leads to the reduction of torque ripple. None of motor parameters are used in this switching strategy and there is no need to shorten the sampling period. Simulation and experimental results confirm the ability of this method in reducing the torque ripple.
