The FOC technique decouples the two components of stator current: one providing the control of flux and the other providing the control of torque. The flux as well as the torque level of the machine is controlled with perpendicular components of the stator current vector in the synchronously rotating reference frame (SRRF). Thus a current control loop is usually realized which controls the stator current and calculates the necessary inverter switching states. In Direct torque control to achieve the decoupling of flux and torque components, the flux and the torque errors are processed in hysteresis controller. The inverter switching states necessary to achieve the flux and torque levels are then directly obtained from a switching table with the stator flux angle as additional input. The motor torque and flux become direct controlled variables and hence, the name — Direct Torque Control. This thesis work gives a contribution for a detailed analysis of between the two control techniques, emphasizing upon the advantages and disadvantages respectively. The performance of the two control schemes is evaluated based on various criteria including the complexity of control and the dynamic performance. The dynamic response of FOC and direct torque control under various operating conditions such as no load, step load, fan load is simulated and examined in MATLAB 2016 environment.ennullThesis
