This document describes direct torque control (DTC) for induction motor drives. Some key points: - DTC aims to directly control torque and flux through selection of inverter voltage vectors based on errors in torque and flux magnitude, without needing current regulation or PI controllers. This makes DTC simpler to implement with low computational requirements. - The inverter voltage vectors are selected from six non-zero and two zero vectors based on instantaneous torque and flux errors to drive the stator flux in the direction of the selected vector. - Experimental results on a DTC setup using a DSP controller show it can achieve decoupled control of the d- and q-axis stator flux components and provide a fast
