Abstract

This paper presents a space vector based Generalized Discontinuous Pulsewidth Modulation (GDPWM) algorithm applied to direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drive without angle estimation using the concept of imaginary switching times. The proposed GDPWM based DTC retains all the advantages of conventional DTC (CDTC) moreover eliminates the complexity involved in conventional space vector Pulsewidth modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm. The proposed method results in reduced current ripple over CSVPWM based DTC at higher modulation indices and low switching losses at all modulation indices. To validate the proposed method, simulation is done in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the results of some popular discontinuous PWM (DPWM) based DTC are presented. Also, comparison of the total harmonic distortion (THD) in line current between the CDTC and different DPWM based DTC is made. The proposed algorithm over and above enhancing the performance at high modulation indices, switching losses of the inverter and computational burden involved in conventional GDPWM algorithm are reduced significantly.

Keywords: DTC, CSVPWM, DPWM, GDPWM Imaginary switching times.
