In recent years, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) have gained variety industrial applications, because of simple structures, high efficiency and ease of maintenance. But these motors have a nonlinear mathematical model. To resolve this problem several studies have suggested the application of vector control (VC) and direct torque control (DTC) with soft-computing (SC) technique. This ...

Abstract A novel hybrid control strategy for reducing torque ripple in permanent magnet brushless direct current motors has been developed by combining the deterministic nature of and adaptive fuzzy logic control. Direct using space vector pulse width modulation developed. This technique ensures near-sinusoidal stator rotor current. The impact commutation corresponding to sinusoidal is reduced ...

The PWM principle is used to control the output voltage of the three-phase inverters. There are many possible PWM techniques proposed in literature. Among these the space-vector PWM (SVM) method is an advanced PWM method and is possibly the best among all the PWM techniques for variable-frequency drive applications. The classical SVPWM which is used in the direct torque control of induction mot...

Abstract This paper investigates a Luenberger flux observer with speed adaptation for a direct field oriented control of an induction motor. An improved method of speed estimation that operates on the principle of speed adaptive flux and current observer has been proposed. An observer is basically an estimator that uses a plant model and a feedback loop with measured stator voltage and current....

The direct torque controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has become attractive because of its simplicity and fast torque response. However, mechanical sensors have caused problems to the system. It is possible to overcome the disadvantage if the initial rotor position is known. For the initial rotor position detection, the structural and magnetic saturation saliencies are fr...

This paper presents a Model Predictive Direct Power Control (MPDPC) strategy for a gridconnected inverter used in a photovoltaic system, as found in many distributed generating installations. The controller uses a system model to predict the system behavior at each sampling instant. Using a cost function, the voltage vector with least power ripple is generated. The resultant voltage vector is a...

The induction motors have wide range of applications for due to its well-known advantages like brushless structures, low costs and robust performances. Over the past years, many kind of control methods are proposed for the induction motors and direct torque control has gained huge importance inside of them due to fast dynamic torque responses and simple control structures. However, the direct t...

This paper proposes an algorithm for direct flux and torque controlled three phase induction motor drive systems. This method is based on control of slip speed and decoupled between amplitude and angle of reference stator flux for determining required stator voltage vector. Within the given sampling time, flux as well as torque errors are controlled by stator voltage vector which is evaluated f...

This paper shows the application of fuzzy PID control technique to reduce torque ripple in an induction motor employing Direct Torque Control (DTC). The performance of the proposed drive system is evaluated through digital simulation using MATLAB-SIMULINK package. The simulation results clearly depict the superiority of devised method over the SVM DTC.

Within the epidemiological framework that describes the relationship of smokers (host), cigarettes (agent), tobacco companies (vector) and environment, both the agent and the vector are man-made and, in theory, controllable. Nonetheless, the smoking pandemic is expected to claim one billion lives in this century, even among people who are not yet born. With a preventable problem that is not bei...
