In this paper we propose a novel torque control method for permanent magnet synchronous motors using the SVPWM (Space Vector PWM). The control law is described in the rotating d-q frame and is devised to track a given reference flux with which the reference torque is generated. The key feature of the proposed control is that it provides uniform dynamics with desired closedloop poles independent of the rotating speed and the desired poles can be selected to yield a fast response with only a small amount of torque ripple.
