Abstract: In conventional direct torque controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor drive (PMSM), there is usually unwanted torque and flux ripple. A modified direct torque control (DTC) for permanent-magnet synchronous machines, which enables important torque- ripple reduction by using voltage vectors with variable amplitude and angle, is proposed in this paper. In the proposed DTC, the magnitude of torque and flux errors are differentiated and employed to regulate the amplitude and angle of the output voltage vectors, which are finally synthesized by space vector modulation (SVM). The proposed DTC method is comparatively investigated with conventional DTC based on theory analysis and computer simulation. Simulations results validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes in this paper.
