Introduction to the Direct Torque Control Technology of Motor Control
The DTC technology originates from ABB and was patented in the mid-1980s. In 1995, ABB launched the first AC drive with direct torque control into the market, and at that time, DTC already held a leading position. Subsequently, with continuous improvements in aspects such as the computing power of processors, application programming, and communication interfaces, the performance of DTC has been continuously enhanced.
Control principle: DTC directly controls the magnetic flux and torque of the motor, unlike AC vector drives and DC drives which control the motor current indirectly. It regards the motor and the inverter as an integrated whole. By using the spatial voltage vector analysis method, it calculates the magnetic flux and torque in real time within the stator coordinate system. It directly controls the torque through a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter, avoiding thecomplex processes of stator current decoupling and vector transformation.
