DTC-SVM οf Sensorless Five-phase Induction Machine Using Extended Kalman Filter

This work relates to the study of direct torque control based on space vector modulation applied on five-phase induction machine. It is well established that the conventional direct torque control using hysteresis comparators suffers from high torque ripples and variable switching frequency. The most common solution to those problems is the use of space vector modulation. In the other hand, this paper aims also to design an extended Kalman filter observer for speed/flux estimation, which improves not only the control performances by using a sensorless algorithm but also can lower the cost and increase the reliability of the system. Both theoretical principle and simulation results of the sensorless control method of multiphase drive will be conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
