Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor by Using Particle Swarm Optimization Technique
This paper is based on an efficient and reliable evolutionary approach of particle swarm optimization (PSO) using direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor. In order to resolve the problem of parameter variation the PI controllers are generally used in industrial plants because it is uncomplicated and robust. However, there is a problem in changing PI parameters. So, the engineers are looking for automatic tuning procedures. In traditional direct torque-controlled induction motor drive, there is generally undesired torque and ripple in form of flux. So Tuning PI parameters (Kp, Ki) are critical to DTC system to improve the performance of the system. In this paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is planned to correct the parameters (Kp, Ki) of the speed controller in order to get improved performance of the system and also responsible to run the machine at base speed.
