Performance Enhancement of Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor Using Fuzzy Logic

DTC is strategy of selecting proper stator voltage vectors to reduce torque error and flux error. DTC uses hysteresis band controller whose control action has no difference between large torque error and small one. This results in high torque ripple. In order to reduce the torque ripple and to improve the performance of DTC, DTC based on Fuzzy Logic is proposed in this paper. The simulations are carried out using MATLAB and comparison is made between conventional DTC and DTC using Fuzzy Logic and simulated results are shown.
