High Performance Control Schemes of Induction Motor ? A Review

Induction motors are used in most of the industrial applications due to its reliability, robustness, low cost and low maintenance. The main focus of this paper is investigation of high performance control methods which are being applied to make induction motor with good dynamic behaviour. The high performance control methods investigated are vector control and direct torque control. The dynamic behaviour of induction motor is studied for step change in speed and step change in load. The results of Matlab/Simulink simulations of both methods are presented. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each method were highlighted.
