In this paper, different switching tables proposed for the Direct Torque Controlled (DTC) of a six-phase induction machine are simulated and implemented. A six-phase induction motor has 64 space voltage vectors which result in increased complexity in the selecting of inverters switching. The unsuitable selection of a switching table leads to large harmonics especially at low speed and it also reduces drive efficiency. A six-phase induction machine has large zero sequence harmonic currents of the order $6{\kappa}{\pm}1$. These harmonic currents are varied in various techniques. Decreasing this loss is essential in a six-phase induction machine. The main purpose of this paper is to improve the ST-DTC of six-phase induction machines to reduce the voltage and current harmonics and the torque pulsation. Selecting a suitable method for minimizing these harmonics is very important.

DC servo motors have small torques compared to their weight. In order to reduce the speed and increase the output torque of the DC motor, a gear box is commonly used. The use of a gearbox, however, imposes limitations onmany applications because of the backlash and the reduction in transmission efficiency. Furthemore, the elastic deformation or the compliance of the gearbox decreases the accuracy of the servo mechanism and the stability of the system. In view of the many disadvantages in using the gearbox, a more effective solution has to be found. The solution is the direct drive mechanism. There are many kinds of direct drive motors. I will consider the ultrasonic motor in particular.

In this paper, a mathematical model of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) fed by inverter with Direct Torque Control (DTC) Dynamic and steady state characteristics of PMSM is simulated and analyzed: electro-magnetic torque response, speed response, locus of the stator flux linkage. It is mathematically proven that the increase of electromagnetic torque in a permanent magnet motor is proportional the increase of the angle between the stator and rotor flux linkages, and, therefore, the fast torque response can be obtained by adjusting the rotating speed of the stator flux linkage as fast as possible. The simulation results verify the proposed control and also show that the torque response under DTC is much faster than the PWM current controlled drive.

A robust position control scheme for a Brushless Direct Drive Motor(BLDDM) is presented. To obtain the robustness under the load variation, a Variable Structure Controller(VSC) is used. However, the VSC has a chattering problem and require the full state informations. To overcome this problem, in this paper, the sliding mode observer is used for compensating the load disturbance and estimating the motor velocity. As a result, the VSC for a BLDDM posision control is designed by using only position measurment and the chattering problem is greatly reduced. To show the validaty of the proposed scheme, the simulation study is carried out.

This paper proposes the design and implementation of a direct torque controlled induction motor drive system. The method is based on control of decoupling between amplitude and angle of reference stator flux for determining reference stator voltage vector in generating PWM output voltage for induction motors. The objective is to reduce electromagnetic torque ripple and stator flux droop which result in a decrease in current distortion in steady state condition. In addition, the proposed technique provides simplicity of a control system. The direct torque control is based on the relationship between instantaneous slip angular frequency and rotor angular frequency in adjustment of the reference stator flux angle. The amplitude of the reference stator flux is always kept constant at rated value. Experimental results are illustrated in this paper confirming the capability of the proposed system in regards to such issues as torque and stator flux response, stator phase current distortion both in dynamic and steady state with load variation, and low speed operation.

This study proposes an input filter for a gallium-nitride-based direct matrix converter with a stepless current commutation technique. Various current commutation strategies have been adopted for reliable operation of switches. These strategies are complex to be implemented and require additional components. The stepless current commutation technique is simple to operate but causes overcurrent issues due to the occurrence of short circuit on input sources. In this study, to restrict the short circuit current, we utilized GaN devices with fast switching properties and modified the input filter. The proposed input filter was verified by experimental results of induction motor drive.

A continuous, accurate, and robust variable structure tracking controller(CVSTC) is designed for brushless direct drive servo motors(BLDDSM). Although conventional variable structure controls can give the desired tracking performances, there exists an inevitable chattering problems in control input which is undesirable for direct drive systems. With the presented algorithm, not only the chattering problems are removed by using the efficient compensation of the disturbance observer, but also the prescribed tracking trajectory can be obtained using the sliding dynamics when an initial of the desired trajcetory is different from that of a BLDDSM. The design of the sliding mode tracking controller for the prescribed, accurate, and robust tracking performance without the chattering problem is given based on the results of the detailed stability analysis. The usefulness of the suggested algorithm is demonstrated through the computer simulation for a BLDDSM under load variations.

This paper presents a high performance pressure control scheme for SR(Switched Reluctance) type hydraulic oil pump using DITC(Direct Instantaneous Torque Control). SR drive has a good feature for pump applications due to a high efficiency, high speed and high torque characteristics. But, SR drive has high torque ripple in commutation region. So, the pump pressure variation is high in the region. In order to reduce the pressure variation, DITC combined with pressure control scheme is presented in this paper. A simple PI controller with flow and pressure limit, generates a reference torque to keep the constant actual pump pressure. The direct torque controller of SR drive generates inverter switching signals according to a control rule and a torque estimator. Computer simulation and experiemtal results show the validation of the proposed control scheme.

This paper represents a control method of improving the performance of direct drive robot. The direct transfer of torque and rotational speed of direct drive motor to the robot body without reduction gear makes the robot speed fast. However, the variation of inertia matrix and low friction cause the control difficult, and one more effort must be in the reducing the acceleration and deceleration time to reduce the cycle time. To fasten the cycle time and to improve the robustness of robot, one control method is developed, and implemented in the Goldstar DD robot. This method does not need to change the conventional PI type control structure, but one additional compensational control law is required. The control law can be obtained via inverse dynamic model of robot, and inverse model of existing control loop. The effects of this control law are shown in this paper.
