Direct Torque and Flux Control (DTFC), also termed Direct Torque Control (DTC), has been developed by German and Japanese researchers for use in torque control of high power servo drives. Recently, it has provided an industrial alternative to the field oriented control strategy. DTC is a control philosophy exploiting the torque and flux producing capabilities of ac machines when fed by a simple voltage source inverter that does not require current regulation loops, still attaining similar performance to that obtained from a vector control drive [4,16,17,18].

Fig.1 System diagram of a typical DTC PMSM drive system. DTC strategy give a fast and good dynamic performance and can be considered as an alternative to the FOC strategy therefore, in recent years the industrial application areas of the high performance AC drives based on DTC technique have gradually increased due to the following advantages over the field oriented control technique, such as: (i) Excellent dynamic performance. (ii) Precise and quick control of stator flux and electromagnetic torque. (ili) Absence of coordinate transformation, which reduce the complexity of algorithms involved in FOC. (iv) Robust against machine parameters variations. (v) No current control oops. A DTC Drive system, which is based on a pre-fixed hysteresis bands for both torque and flux controllers, suffers from a varying switching frequency, which is a function of a motor speed, stator/ rotor fluxes, and stator voltage; it is also not constant in steady state. At low speed, an appreciable evel of acoustic noise is present, which is mainly due to the ow inverter switching frequency. The high frequency is imited by the switching characteristics of the power devices. Therefore, there will be large torque ripples and distorted waveforms in currents and fluxes. Thus there will be a varying device switching frequency. Variable switching frequency is undesirable and is limited by the thermal condition of the switching devices and maximum switching frequency of the devices. Therefore, there will be a large torque ripples and distorted waveforms in currents and fluxes.

Fig.3 Stator flux vector locus and different possible switching voltage vector lies in sector 1. The motor torque is estimated from Equation (5). Then from Fig.2 the inputs to the switching table block are the torque and flux error, and the stator flux angle information are used to select the suitable switching pattern. Many voltage selection strategies can be utilized as widely discussed in Refs. [16,25,26,27,28,29]. Each strategy affects the drive performance in terms of torque and current ripple, switching frequency, and torque response [21,23,24].

Fig.13. Two-phase stationary reference frame currents due to speed changes with full loading. Figures 15 and 16 show the flux position angle or the electrical rotor position ramp signal at 4000 rpm where the flux position angle is varying in a linear shape from (0 to 360) degree or from (0 to 6.2832) radian in estimations as indicated. Figure 15 shows the effect of speed reversal on two-phase stationary reference frame flux components and the associated flux position angle. From these figures it is noted that, when the speed is in forward direction of rotation the slope of the flux position is positive. Also, when the speed in backward direction the slope of the flux positions is negative. At the instant of speed reversal, the two-phase stationary reference frame flux components reverses their phase sequences with maintaining their amplitude constants. Consequently, the slope of the flux position is reverse from positive slope to negative slope when speed change from forward to backward direction of rotations and vice versa.

Fig.23 Close view of the rotor position when the speed is reversed from forward to backward at 500 rpm. A little distorted and improved current waveform is obtained by using the direct torque control technique. Increasing the switching frequency reduces the current ripples but this is restricted with the maximum switching frequency of the power transistor, this will case higher switching losses. A compromise between the quality of the output current and the inverter switching losses is the key of the switching frequency choice [16].

Fig.22 Close view of the two-phase current components when the speed is reversed from forward to backward at 500 rpm. When speed is reversed from backward to forward Figs.22, 23, 24 and 25, the drive system gives a very fast and smooth dynamic response. Also, the steady state speed when reversed from forward to backward and vice versa is reached in approximately 250 ms. As indicated from these figures the use of DTC gives a fast and better response in transient and in steady state periods therefore, a good dynamic response is obtained.
