In this paper, we are interested in design of switching control strategies which, as in the case of classical direct torque control (DTC), aim to directly regulate two outputs: torque and flux amplitude. A criterion in terms of the error and/or the prediction in one-step-ahead on these outputs is proposed to design the switching sequence. As a result, a control vector, i.e., the switch position...

This paper presents a direct torque control strategy for double star synchronous machine fed by two three-level inverters. The analysis of the torque and the stator flux linkage reference frame shows that the concept of direct torque control can be extended easily to double star synchronous machine. The proposed approach consists to replace the switching tables by one artificial neural networks...

This paper focuses on direct torque control (DTC) for three-phase ac electric drives. A novel model predictive control scheme is proposed that keeps the motor torque, the stator flux, and (if present) the inverter’s neutral point potential within given hysteresis bounds while minimizing the switching frequency of the inverter. Based on an internal model of the drive, the controller predicts sev...

From ferromagnetic resonance xperiments and from calculations based on the modified Landau-Lifschitz equation, switching times for the coherent rotation of the magnetization in thin, permalloy-type films have been predicted to lie in the range of 1 mi1limicrosecond.l First measurements by D. 0. Smith et a1,2 utilizing a travellingwave oscilloscope with a response time of 2 mpec, indicated swi...

Transformer inrush currents are highmagnitude, harmonic-rich currents generated when transformer cores are driven into saturation during energization. These currents have undesirable effects, including potential damage or loss-of-life to the transformer, protective relay misoperation, and reduced power quality on the system. Controlled transformer switching can potentially eliminate these trans...

In This paper, the authors propose a Sensorless Direct Torque and Flux Control (DTFC) of Induction Motor (IM) using two approach intelligent techniques: Mamdani Fuzzy Logic (FL) controller is used for controlling the rotor speed and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) applied in switching select stator voltage. We estimated the rotor speed by using the Model Reference Adaptive Systems (MRAS). The c...
