Abstract
Direct Torque Control (DTC) is widely recognized for its simplicity in both modeling and implementation. However, it still suffers from the major drawback of torque ripples. To address this limitation, numerous innovative solutions have been proposed in the literature. This paper provides an in-depth review of recent methods aimed at enhancing the performance of DTC, with a particular focus on optimizing Doubly-Fed Induction Motors (DFIM) in terms of torque and speed control. This review begins with a detailed presentation of the DFIM model, followed by a mathematical analysis of basic DTC control. The main challenges associated with this approach are identified and explained. The core section of the review explores a range of traditional techniques (such as backstepping and space vector modulation) as well as innovative methods based on optimization algorithms (genetic algorithm, ant colony optimization, and rooted tree optimization) and artificial intelligence, including fuzzy logic and neural networks, all aimed at improving DTC control efficiency. The objective is to reduce torque ripples while optimizing speed dynamics. Each of these techniques is analyzed in terms of its advantages and disadvantages, providing a critical perspective on their potential to enhance the performance of DTC control systems. This work stands out for its in-depth comparative study of these techniques based on major criteria (torque ripples and complexity), classification study and proposing actionable recommendations. This analysis aims to identify the most effective control strategies in the literature. The techniques that demonstrated the highest efficiency in this study are FL-DTC and ANN-DTC, which reduced torque ripples from 2.445 Nm for standard DTC to 1.14 Nm for FL-DTC and 1.08 Nm for ANN-DTC. Additionally, ANN-DTC offers the added benefit of lower complexity, providing a simpler yet equally effective solution compared to FL-DTC.
