“…In most publications, the magnetic behavior is described by nonlinear (apparent) inductances that depend on the stator currents or rotor position [11,12,14,15,17,18,20], while cross-coupling is mostly neglected (although present if not adequately considered during apparent inductance derivation). Other authors use flux linkage maps for modeling and, therefore, allow to include cross-coupling effects [12,13,16,19]. Most papers utilize the (average) torque equation which does not allow to reflect the intrinsic torque ripple (angle dependency) to its full extent.…”
