Abstract. This paper presents a novel direct torque control method for an induction motor fed by a matrix converter using the variable-structure sliding mode scheme with the reaching law, in which combined with the space-vector pulse width modulation to ensure a high-performance operation, both in steady state and under transient conditions. The novel variable-structure controllers are designed to provide the fast and accurate torque and flux control which replace the traditional hysteresis comparators. Some experimental results are shown to prove the accuracy and low-ripple operation of the proposed algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
