Experimental verification of the six sectors neural DTC approach of squirrel cage induction motors

Abstract The direct torque control (DTC) approach is one of the suitable solutions for controlling squirrel cage induction machines (SCIMs) due to its distinctive performance compared to other strategies and its simplicity. However, using this approach has several drawbacks and problems. This paper...

description Abstract The direct torque control (DTC) approach is one of the suitable solutions for controlling squirrel cage induction machines (SCIMs) due to its distinctive performance compared to other strategies and its simplicity. However, using this approach has several drawbacks and problems. This paper presents an experimental work using real equipment of an innovative method that combines six sectors of DTC technique and neural networks (NNs). The use of an NN algorithm allows for overcoming problems of the DTC approach, such as reducing torque ripples. Using the NN technique, the operation of the SCIM inverter is controlled, as the NN technique provides the pulses necessary to run the inverter, which allows for improving the quality of the current. Therefore, the presented approach is based on the usual method, using the same estimation equations. First, the validity of the designed approach was tested using MATLAB, comparing the results with the DTC approach. The results obtained showed a high ability of the six sectors’ NN-DTC approach to significantly enhance the quality of torque and current, which confirms the competence of using NNs. Secondly, real equipment was used to verify the simulation results and the extent of the efficiency and competence of the six sectors NN-DTC approach compared to the DTC technique in terms of improving the quality of current and torque. These experimental results obtained are of great value in the field of control, as they give a clear picture of the advantage of the six sectors of the NN-DTC approach in improving the features of the control system, which makes it more suitable for different applications in the future.
