Fixed-switching-frequency DTC control for PM synchronous machine with minimum torque ripples

In this paper, fixed-frequency direct torque control (DTC) of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is presented. In this method, the stator voltage vector is generated according to the increase stator flux components in the stationary frame ( alpha,beta ). A control algorithm based on predictive control to reduce the effect of the computing time on the stator flux vector position is also presented. The implementation of this method in the case of a PMSM, which is done without hysteresis regulators, is simple and does not require any filter. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the torque ripple while achieving a good dynamic response.
