Various aspects related to controlling induction motors are investigated. Different control strategies are explored. The direct torque control (DTC) strategy is studied in details and its relation to space vector modulation (SVM) is emphasized. An SVM-based DTC strategy is suggested and a controller design based on this strategy is presented. A Simulink model representing the controller is deve...

Vector control is becoming the industrial standard for induction motor control. The vector control technique decouples the two components of stator current space vector: one providing the control of flux and the other providing the control of torque. The two components are defined in the synchronously rotating reference frame. With the help of this control technique the induction motor can repl...

Abstract This paper presents the performance evaluation of Doubly-Fed Induction Generator Using Combined Vector Control and Direct Power Control Method. Combined vector and direct power control (CVDPC) is used for the rotor side converter (RSC) of double-fed induction generators (DFIGs). The control system is according a direct current control by selecting suitable voltage vectors from a switch...

This paper proposes a novel wind energy conversion system based on a Five-phase Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Generator (5-PMSG) and a Five to three Matrix Converter (5-3MC). The low cost and volume and also eliminating grid side converter controller are attractive aspects of the proposed topology compared to the conventional with back-to-back converters. The control of active and reactive pow...
