New Direct Torque Control Scheme for BLDC Motor Drives Suitable for EV Applications

This paper proposes a simple and effective scheme for Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Brushless DC Motor. Unlike the traditional DTC where both the torque and flux must to be employed in order to deliver the switching table for the inverter, the proposed DTC scheme utilizes only the torque information. By considering the particular operating principle of the motor, the instantaneous torque can be estimated only by using back EMF ratio in an unified differential equation. The simulation results have shown the good performance of the proposed scheme. It can be seen thus a very suitable technique for EV drives which need fast and precise torque response.
