Simulation of direct torque control of induction motor using Simulink, simplorer and maxwell software

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a cosimulation platform of induction motor direct torque control (DTC) drive. This paper provides advanced modeling and simulation tool for induction motor drive. The proposed simulation platform allows a coupled analysis that links finite element analysis (FEA) with the simplorer for the more realistic simulation, analysis and validation. With the help of finite element analysis method (FEM), a three phase induction motor is simulated. The obtained model is also configured in MATALB/Simulink. In this paper, comparison between the Matlab/Simulink and Ansys Maxwell simplorer cosimulation is done for speed control of induction motor (IM) based on the direct torque control strategy.
