This paper proposes an improved fault-tolerant control scheme for PWM inverter-fed induction motor-based electric vehicles. The proposed strategy deals with power switch (IGBTs) failures mitigation within a reconfigurable induction motor control. To increase the vehicle powertrain reliability regarding IGBT open-circuit failures, 4-wire and 4-leg PWM inverter topologies are investigated and the...

The aim of this paper is to review the origin and developments of Direct Torque Control (DTC), an advanced control technique of induction motor drives yielding superior performance. The direct torque control is one of the excellent control strategies available for torque control of induction machine. It is considered as an alternative to Field Oriented Control (FOC) technique. The DTC is charac...

Induction motors are the most widely used for appliances, industrial control, and automation; however, many applications need variable speed operations. The rapid development of power electronics controllers in recent years has attracted the attention of researchers for making use of flexible characteristics of an induction motor in variable frequency drives. It presents a compact embedded fuzz...

Three phase induction motor is one of the most widely used motors as industrial, commercial and residential load. This motor has the simplest construction, reliable in operation, low initial cost, easy operation, simple maintenance, high efficiency and simple speed control. The popularity of this motor has resulted into lot of research including the transient behaviour of the motor. In this pap...

Single-phase induction motors are widely used today. A single-phase motor is operated using a inverter. The inverter consists of four MOSFETs, two for the high side and low side. constant speed motor. As corollary, control Single-Phase Induction becomes very important necessity. Speed can be done in many ways. method followed this paper voltage control/ (V/F Control). By controlling duty cycle ...
