Comprehensive Analysis of FOC, MPC, and DTC Controlling Methods for Five-Phase Induction Motor Drives using Two-Level and Three-Level Inverters

Abstract: This study provides a thorough examination of Direct Torque Control (DTC), Model Predictive Control (MPC), and Field-Oriented Control (FOC) for five-phase induction motor (FPIM) drives. The study examines how well these control strategies work with inverters that have two and three levels. Several performance metrics are examined through simulation and hardware results, such as fault tolerance, dynamic response, torque ripple, and computational complexity. The findings show that while DTC offers a faster response with a larger torque ripple, MPC offers better dynamic performance at a higher computational cost. Even though FOC is computationally efficient, its response times are slower. Three-level inverters decrease switching losses and total harmonic distortion (THD) while improving the quality of the voltage waveform.
