Hysteresis Band Determination of Direct Torque Controlled Induction Motor Drives with Torque Ripple and Motor-Inverter Loss Considerations

The flux and torque hysteresis bands are the only gains to be adjusted in direct torque control (DTC). The torque ripple and harmonic loss of motor and switching loss of inverter greatly influence them. Hence, these variables must be observed in the control process to maximize performance of the system. In this paper, the effects of flux and torque hysteresis bands on inverter switching loss, harmonic loss, and torque ripple of induction motor …
