2. OBJECTIVE
Variable speed control of three phase induction motor using a six switch inverter by Direct Torque Control (DTC).

3. Variable speed control

4. Variable speed control

5. Variable speed control

6. DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING METHOD
Harmonic content in motor current increase at low speed;
The machine saturates at light loads due high V/f ratio;
These effects overheat the machine at low speed;
Smooth speed control of induction motor is not possible;
The cost of the method is high but less efficient.

7. PROPOSED METHOD
The speed control of induction motor is done using Direct Torque Control (DTC) with six switch three phase inverter;
The switching technique used is space vector modulation technique;
The two phases are connected to the two legs of the inverter, while the third phase is connected to the mid point of the dc-bus voltage.

Structure of direct torque control proposed.

11. Direct Torque Control
Stator flux linkage is estimated by integrating the stator voltages;
Torque is estimated as a cross product of estimated stator flux linkage vector and measured motor current vector;
The estimated flux magnitude and torque are then compared with their reference values.
