Position control of a permanent magnet transverse flux machine with very high force density for industrial automation systems

This paper presents a new position control method for transverse flux machines. Since the torque ripple is one of the most important reasons for the low dispersal of transverse flux machines, a great importance has to be attached to subordinate torque control. Based on a look-up table, the torque is controlled by a time-discrete converter state changing. Speed and position are superordinately controlled by state regulators without steady state control deviation.
