Performance Comparison of PID and PR Controller in a DTC of an Induction Machine
Abstract
Direct torque control (DTC) of an induction machine is used to control the torque and finally the speed with the
usage of a variable frequency drive (VFD). By using the measured current and voltage of an induction machine the
estimated magnetic flux can be calculated. DTC is assessed considering, space vector adjustment modulation, field
oriented control ( FOC), vector control and others. The main focus of DTC of an induction machine will be space vector
modulation DTC (SVM–DTC), which is a common technique to control the induction machine with usage of the torque
and flux of the machine. Controllers are utilized in the DTC scheme to reduce steady-state error and therefore improve
induction performance. In this paper the comparison of a proportional integral (PI) controller and a proportional-resonant
(PR) controller will be analyzed to find out the best performance of DTC. Simulations have been carried out and
demonstrated that PR controller has significant advantages over PI controller in DTC.
