Direct torque control for dual-three phase induction motor drives

A direct torque control (DTC) strategy for dual-three phase induction motor drives is discussed in this paper. The induction machine has two sets of stator three-phase windings spatially shifted by 30 electrical degrees. The DTC strategy is based on a predictive algorithm and it is implemented in a synchronous reference frame aligned with the machine stator flux vector. The advantages of the discussed control strategy are: constant inverter switching frequency, good transient and steady-state performance and low distortion of machine phase currents respect to direct self control (DSC) and other DTC schemes with variable switching frequency. Experimental results are presented for a 10 kW DTC dual three-phase induction motor drive prototype.
