In this paper, we are interested in design of switching control strategies which, as in the case of classical direct torque control (DTC), aim to directly regulate two outputs: torque and flux amplitude. A criterion in terms of the error and/or the prediction in one-step-ahead on these outputs is proposed to design the switching sequence. As a result, a control vector, i.e., the switch position, is directly selected without the requirement of an auxiliary space vector or other modulation

... ue. We consider two criteria: quadratic and absolute value. Finally, experimental results implementing these two approaches are presented, and compared with the classical DTC.
