Statement of work Design a direct torque control system for 3-phase induction motor Implement a variable speed drive system Obtain maximum torque control by estimating speed and torque Bader Abdulmane
Team structure Badar Abdulmane (Software Designer) Dr Sam Ali (Project Supervisor) Imran Ahmed (Team Leader) Rajveer Singh Boparai (Hardware Designer) Bader Abdulmane
Project background DC motors have the best performance but are very expensive AC motors are cheaper, require less maintenance and have a longer life span System have been developed to control speed of the AC motors Variable frequency drives Flux vector drives Bader Abdulmane
Direct torque control Direct torque control was invented by Manfred on 20 th October 1984 Controls the torque therefore the speed of the motor No speed or position sensor needed [1] [1] DTC Block Diagram Bader Abdulmane

DTC system block Microcontroller 3-Phase Bridge Rectifier IGBT module 3~ Motor Voltage Sensor Current Sensors 3~ supply (138V/Phase) 3-phase bridge rectifier One voltage sensor Two current sensors IGBT module (switching inverter) 32-bit microcontroller Imran Ahmed Figure: Direct torque control building blocks
Bridge rectifier High voltage rating (800V, 35A) Input rectifier for PWM inverters Low in cost ($25) [1] Three phase bridge Rectifier [1] Imran Ahmed
Inverter (switching device) The IGBT module is ideal for three phase invertor application Low cost ($30), usually inverter are very expensive Some important feature of this IGBT module Smart shutdown function with a single pin Built in temperature sensor [1] STGIPS20K60 (IGBT Module) [1] AL_LITERATURE/DATASHEET/CD pdf Imran Ahmed
Microcontroller ATMEL AT32UC3C264C AVR microcontroller High performance low power 32-bit microcontroller 66MHz Crystal Less time to perform calculations due to high clock frequency High data transfer speed [1] [1] 32-bit Microcontroller Imran Ahmed
Current sensor Excellent accuracy Very good linearity Measuring range up to 25A (rms) [1] LA-25 NP Current Transducer [1] Imran Ahmed
Voltage sensor Voltage measuring range up to 500V Very good linearity Low response time [1] [1] LV-25 P Voltage Sensor Imran Ahmed
What’s next? Currently we are developing PCB design Will develop the software for DTC Will perform testing on the sensors and components This will allow us to make changes in the software according to the sensor’s output Finally we will test the circuit by driving the motor Imran Ahmed
