In this paper the basic structure and design of a torque controller for an electric vehicle driven by induction motor is presented. The basic structure of the electric vehicle in question and its mathematical model is presented first. After that, the operation principle of the conventional direct torque control is analyzed and from this a new controller with fixed constant switching frequency is designed. To generate the switching pulses sine PWM is used instead of the hysteresis comparator and switching table commonly used in direct torque control. Finally, simulation comparison was performed. This shows that better performance was achieved with the proposed controller with lower torque and flux errors, and lower torque and stator current ripple. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
