Improved Direct Torque Control of Doubly Fed Induction Motor Using Space Vector Modulation

This research paper deals with the improved direct torque control (DTC) of a doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) operating in motor mode. The conventional DTC is a powerful tool to ensure robustness and good torque dynamics. However, the variable switching frequency as well as the presence of torque and flux ripples due to the use of hysteresis controllers are the major drawbacks of this strategy. For this purpose, the control by space vector Modulation (SVM) is developed to improve DTC performance, by replacing hysterisis controllers by PI controllers to reduce electromagnetic flux ripple and torque ripple in order to minimize mechanical vibration and acoustic noise while maintaining the benefits of DTC control. The proposed control algorithm is simulated and tested in MATLAB/Simulink. A comparative analysis between this technique and conventional DTC is carried out, highlighting the efficiency of the proposed improvement approach. The performance indexes and comparative results show the effectiveness of the proposed control in reducing torque ripple and stator and rotor flux ripple by up to 43%, 42% and 31%, respectively, resulting in Total Harmonic Distortion (THD%) 61% lower, in addition the switching frequency is controlled, and the Rejection Time is improved by more than 76%.
