A refinement on transverse flux homopolar linear machine system modelling by periodic convolution technique

This paper provides a refinement on the system state-space model formulation of the transverse flux homopolar linear machine prototypes as proposed in [1]-[3], such that the saliency effects of these systems can be properly accounted. Due to the periodic relative position-dependent characteristics of the machine primary and secondary sides, by introducing appropriate weighting concept onto the convolution technique, an integrated and compact set of matrix representations regarding to the system state-space equations can be derived. Numerical verifications are supported by experimental results to illustrate the adequacy of the proposed technique.
