Novel direct torque control (DTC) scheme with fuzzy adaptive torque-ripple reduction

Abstract

Investigations were carried out on a novel direct torque control system, which not only reduces the undesirable torque ripple by up to 98% by means of introducing a modulation between the selected active state and a zero state, but also maintains constant switching frequency. Additionally, this two-state modulator is fuzzy adaptive and may be applied to any induction motor. Simulation and the results of experiment illustrate the operation and performance of the proposed fuzzy-logic-based controller.
