Abstract
The classical direct torque control (CDTC) of the induction motor (IM) drive is characterized by high ripples in the stator flux and the electromagnetic torque waveforms due to the use of hysteresis comparators. Furthermore, the motor speed in this control strategy is ensured through a proportional integral (PI) regulator, due to its simple structure. Nonetheless, this controller is sensitive to load disturbances. Hence, it is not robust against parameter variance, which can degrade the motor performance. To overcome this deficiency, many endeavors have been conducted in the literature to ensure a high dynamic response of the motor in all speed ranges, with minimum flux and torque undulations. Thus, the DTC of an IM associated with a three-level inverter based on sliding mode (SM) flux, torque and speed controllers was adopted to substitute the hysteresis comparators and the traditional PI regulator, since the SM speed controller is able to prevail against external disturbances. The second contribution of this manuscript is to develop the proposed DTC_SM approach using the Xilinx System Generator (XSG) in order to implement it on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) Virtex 5 on account of its ability to adopt parallel processing. The hardware co-simulation results verify clearly the merits of the suggested modified DTC strategy.
