Vector versus Scalar Control of Induction Motors
• Scalar control involves controlling only the magnitude of the control
variables with no concern for the coupling effects between these variables.
Conversely, vector or field orientated control involves adjusting the
magnitude and phase alignment of the vector quantities of the motor.
• Scalar control, such as the Constant Volts/Hertz method when applied to an
AC induction motor is relatively simple to implement but gives a sluggish
response because of the inherent coupling effect due to torque and flux
being functions of current and frequency. Vector control de-couples the
vectors of field current and armature flux so that they may be controlled
independently to provide fast transient response.

• Accurate position control is not possible with scalar control since this
requires instantaneous control of the torque. This requires either,
instantaneous change to the stator currents, which is not possible due to
energy storage effects, or instantaneous change to the rotor current which in
the case of scalar control is controlled indirectly via the stator currents.
Similarly, whilst scalar control may provide acceptable steady state speed
control, precise and responsive speed control due to load changes requires
accurate and responsive torque control.
• The vector approach overcomes the sluggish transient response when using
scalar control of AC motors.

• The Field Orientated Control consists of controlling the stator currents represented by a vector.
• This control is based on projections which transform a threephase time and speed dependent
system into a two co-ordinate (d and q co-ordinates) time invariant system.
• These projections lead to a structure similar to that of a DC machine control.
• Field orientated controlled machines need two constants as input references: the torque
component (aligned with the q co-ordinate) and the flux component (aligned with d co-ordinate).
• As Field Orientated Control is simply based on projections the control structure handles
instantaneous electrical quantities. This makes the control accurate in every working operation.

• Direct Torque Control describes the way in which the control of torque and speed are directly based on the electromagnetic state of the motor, similar to a DC motor, but contrary to the way in which traditional PWM drives use input frequency and voltage. DTC is the first technology to control the “real” motor control variables of torque and flux.
