Abstract

This paper presents the Direct Torque Control (DTC) of an Inverter fed five-phase induction motor (FPIM) drive that uses improved lookup table-based switching. To control the inverter output voltage, a 32 voltage vectors based space vector technique is proposed, which will provide greater flexibility while selecting the Inverter switching states. The Matlab/ simulation results are presented, indicating the dynamic and steady-state response of five-phase asynchronous motor drive with DTC. The superiority of the proposed method over the conventional approach is compared. The proposed switching scheme significantly improves the stator flux, torque and speed response of the machine. Multiphase induction motors provide better torque handling capability along with ride-through during phase faults with reduced performance. The multiphase induction motor with DTC has more significant applications in various fields like electric ship propulsion, locomotive traction, electric vehicle (EV)/hybrid electric vehicles/fuel cell vehicles.
