The authors propose new modification of the direct torque control method based on voltage vector prediction. The principle of the method is explained and the mathematical description of the system is provided. The control algorithm is implemented in simulation envi- ronment MatLab/Simulink and its behaviour is tested on the mathematical model of an induction motor drive. Then, the control algorithm is verified on the real drive with induction motor with dSPACE control system. The results from the simulations and measurements are presented and compared with those when using the fundamental direct torque control method.
