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...

Direct Torque Control of induction motor fed drives has become popular and widely used in industries due to fast and good torque response. Induction motors (IM) are simple in construction and are less sensitive to the motor parameters compared to other vector control methods. A new torque and flux control scheme called the direct torque control (DTC) has been introduced for induction motors. In...

Class-D full bridge is the most common inverter topology at the primary side for wireless electric vehicles (EVs) charging systems. This study takes a novel topology of a phase-controlled inverter as the power amplifier and puts it in a context of the whole charging system. The proposed inverter topology regulates the charging power through adjusting the phase-shift angle among phases with a co...

Direct Torque Control is a control technique used in AC drive systems to obtain high performance torque control. The conventional DTC drive contains a pair of hysteresis comparators, a flux and torque estimator and a voltage vector selection table. The torque and flux are controlled simultaneously by applying suitable voltage vectors, and by limiting these quantities within their hysteresis ban...

Renewable energy sources can be used for electric power generation to supply specific devices in distributed systems such as smart grids.
