This paper presents a novel DTC-SVM method for matrix converter fed induction motor. The advantages of DTC method are combined with the advantages of the matrix converter based on the direct space vector modulation (DSVM) technique. This proposed method provides a precious input power factor control capability beside the high control performances. Furthermore, the FFT spectrum analysis of the input current shows the better harmonic contents as compared to the conventional DTC method. The simulation results of 5HP induction motor control at both steady state and transient state are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
