Loss Manipulation Capabilities of Deadbeat Direct Torque and Flux Control Induction Machine Drives

This paper investigates the loss manipulation capabilities of deadbeat direct torque and flux control (DB-DTFC) induction machine drives. For each switching period, a volt-second-based inverse model provides a range of volt-second solutions to achieve the desired torque at the end of each switching interval, whereas the stator flux magnitude provides another degree of freedom to manipulate machine losses. With a flux-based DB-DTFC loss model proposed, losses can be manipulated each switching period without compromising torque dynamics. For a steady-state operation and typical process trajectories, the minimum loss can be achieved with corresponding energy savings. Alternatively, significant losses can be rapidly induced to dissipate kinetic energy in a machine during braking transients. This loss maximization technique provides significant braking torque without requiring additional hardware to transfer/dissipate energy. DB-DTFC induction machine drives provide an effective and elegant solution for continuous loss manipulation without compromising dynamic performance.
