This document discusses direct torque control of a three-phase induction motor using a four-switch inverter. It begins by reviewing existing literature on direct torque control methods and their limitations. The author then proposes using direct torque control with space vector modulation to control a four-switch inverter for improved dynamic response, reduced torque ripple, and lower harmonic distortion compared to existing methods. Simulation and hardware results demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method, such as lower torque ripple and current harmonic distortion.
