Abstract

Efforts to achieve swift and precise dynamic torque control have been central in AC drive research. Recent advancements in embedded computer systems have highlighted direct torque control (DTC) and field-oriented control (FOC) as key methods for enhancing torque dynamics, both utilizing space vector modulation (SVM) to optimize voltage source inverter positioning. This study introduces a novel synthesis by integrating DTC with SVM to address limitations in conventional DTC, which suffers from limited voltage vector availability, leading to undesirable torque behavior and significant current fluctuations. The primary goal is to develop an optimal switching modulator for the fastest torque response through the combined application of DTC and SVM. The proposed strategy optimizes DC bus usage, reduces torque fluctuations, minimizes total harmonic distortion in AC motor current, decreases switching losses, and ensures seamless digital system integration. Simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK demonstrate significant torque, current, and flux linkage ripple reductions, validating the approach's effectiveness. This integration overcomes established limitations, extending the capabilities of motor control methodologies and offering enhanced performance and operational integrity in induction motor drive systems.
