DTC of four switch three phase inverter fed induction motor drive using artificial neural network

摘要

This paper presents direct torque control (DTC) scheme for an induction motor (IM) fed from four switch three phase inverter (FSTPI) using simple structured artificial neural network for switching vector selection and is conceived to be a commercially viable solution having low cost, high efficiency and robustness. By comparing the proposed scheme with conventional DTC for IM fed from six switch and four switch three phase inverter shows interesting performance. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is the best technique in comparison with pulse width modulation (PWM) or sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) because of its lesser total harmonic distortion, wider linear modulation range, their easier digital realization and better DC bus utilization for obtaining the switching voltage vectors. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed scheme.
