Direct torque control for Linear Induction Motor

Abstract

This paper presents a direct torque control for a Single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM). In the last years, in the field of research on linear induction drives, a lot of efforts have been oriented to improve the dynamics performances of these machines by using direct torque control. In order to insure a high transient behavior of the drive and to avoid the draw back of the parametric perturbations in the implemented control, the direct torque control is considered in this work.
