3-Level Inverter Fed Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor without Using Medium Vectors

Abstract:

This paper proposes the natural extension of classic switching table based direct torque control of induction motor modified for 3-level diode clamped inverter. The proposed method has the advantages of fewer harmonic in the output and low torque ripples. The switching table direct torque control scheme is adopted due to the simplicity of its control algorithm. To demonstrate the performance of proposed multilevel inverter fed direct torque control, the simulations are carried out for constant speed under no load and step change in load. The comparison of the dynamic and steady state performance in terms of torque ripple of the 2-level inverter and 3-level inverters are presented.
