Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of Direct Torque Control with Space Vector Modulation (DTC-SVM) and Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) applied to five-phase induction motors. Five-phase induction motors offer enhanced performance, reliability, and efficiency over traditional three-phase motors, making them suitable for high-reliability applications. The performance of DTC-SVM and FCS-MPC is evaluated through experimental implementation on a 3.5 kW five-phase induction motor, focusing on both dynamic response during speed reference changes and load variations, and static response, under steady-state conditions, as well as energy quality, specifically stator voltage and current. Experimental results show that FCS-MPC provides superior dynamic response, effectively managing speed changes and load variations, while DTC-SVM, owing to its fixed switching frequency, excels at reducing torque ripple and minimizing stator current harmonics. The choice between DTC-SVM and FCS-MPC depends on the application's needs, weighing dynamic performance, torque stability, and harmonic content. This study provides valuable insights for optimizing five-phase induction motor control and encourages future research to refine these methods or develop hybrid approaches that combine their strengths.
