The direct torque control (DTC) scheme for a matrixconverter-fed induction motor drive system is a high
performance motor control scheme with fast torque
and flux responses. By selecting appropriate
switching patterns, the advantages of DTC and
benefits of matrix converters can be combined to
achieve a satisfactory servo drive.

INTRODUCTION

Over the years, there have been many advancements

in the field of induction motor control.
The main disadvantage of scalar control is poor
dynamic response or sluggish response which is
due to the inherent coupling effect between Torque
and flux components.
This led to development of vector control wherein
the torque and flux components are decoupled so that
both can be controlled independently.

Simple and compact power circuit.

Sinusoidal input and output currents.
Operation with unity power factor for any load.

Matrix Converter:

Dept. of EEE

It is a forced commutated converter which uses an

array of bidirectional switches as the main power
elements to create a variable output voltage system
with unrestricted frequency.
It has an array of mxn bidirectional switches
connecting m-phase source voltage source to a nphase load.
Converter of 3x3 switches has the highest practical
interest because it connects a three-phase voltage
source with three-phase load, typically a motor.
