Minimization of torque ripples in direct torque control of induction motor at low speeds

Direct Torque Control (DTC) of induction motor has attracted a considerable attention in the motor drives industry. The key merits of DTC include fast torque dynamic response, simple structure, insensitivity to motor’s parameters. Nevertheless, DTC inherently suffers from two major downsides namely:...
