In these days, developments in the area of Induction Motor control is increasing significantly. Considerable advancements have been taken place in the area of Direct Torque Control (DTC), which is capable of providing quick dynamic response with respect to torque and flux. This paper presents a detailed survey on various latest techniques of DTC control of Induction Motor such as DTC-SVM with hysteresis band, DTCSVM with Model Predictive Control, DTC with sliding mode control, DTC with Model reference adaptive system (MRAS) et cetera. The simulation results are discussed for DTC-SVPWM topology and results obtained proves that this method has reduced torque ripple

This paper presents a distributed model predictive control algorithm to solve the cruise control problem of a heterogeneous platoon. Each following vehicle in the platoon can use the communication equipment to receive the information of the leading vehicle and its preceding adjacent one. The vehicles in the platoon are dynamically decoupled and have different dynamic parameters. Each vehicle solves a local optimal control problem independently. The cost function of each vehicle’s local optimal control algorithm is designed with traceability as the control objective, and its asymptotic stability is guaranteed by using the terminal constraint method. In addition, the timestamps of all vehicles in the platoon are synchronous, which means that in each sampling period, a specific vehicle in the platoon cannot obtain the solution results of other vehicles’ local optimal control problems at the current sampling moment. Under this restriction, the constraints that each vehicle needs to meet to realize the platoon’s string stability are also designed. Finally, the simulation results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

A direct torque control (DTC) with a modified finite set model predictive strategy is proposed in this paper. The eight voltage space vectors of two-level inverters are taken as the finite control set and applied to the model predictive direct torque control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The duty cycle of each voltage vector in the finite set can be estimated by a cost function, which is designed based on factors including the torque error, maximum torque per ampere (MTPA), and stator current constraints. Lyapunov control theory is introduced in the determination of the weight coefficients of the cost function to guarantee stability, and thus the optimal voltage vector reference value of the inverter is obtained. Compared with the conventional finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) method, the torque ripple is reduced and the robustness of the system is clearly improved. Finally, the simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
