Dynamic modeling and simulation of SVM-DTC of five phase induction motor

In an inverter, the number of legs can be increased to any number. So, any number of phase voltages can be generated with proper firing pulses. In this work, a five phase machine is modeled and simulated in MATLAB / Simulink. The space vector modulation (SVM) technique is applied to the proposed model for its torque control. The torque control characteristic obtained using SVM based DTC is compared with a three phase induction machine with same DC link voltage. The result shows that for equal DC link voltage performance of five phase machine is better than its three phase counterpart.
