Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate changes and significant efforts to decrease greenhouse emissions in transport and in electric power generation demand the use of innovative electric machines with lower energy consumption and development of the enhanced control methods for their usage. Innovative design of electric machines should follow the next main targets: high energy efficiency during energy conversion, reliability of operation, controllability, simplicity, rugged construction, low production price, low maintenance cost and recyclability of used materials. Full utilization of electric drives features is possible only with simultaneous development of both electrical machines and control methods.
This Special Issue focuses on, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Electromagnetic and thermal design methods for electric machines;
- Multi-objective optimization of electric machines and drives;
- Core loss analysis and advanced core loss calculation methods;
- Design of line-start permanent magnet and line-start permanent magnet-free machines;
- Nonlinear models of electric machines with concentrated parameters;
- Development of electric machines for electric propulsion;
- Dual-rotor PM machines for electrical variable transmission;
- Development of highly-efficient electric machines for general applications;
- Of-line and on-line methods for identification of electric machine parameters;
- Development of enhanced control methods for electric machines and drives (field oriented control, direct torque control, model predictive control, model-free predictive control);
- Advanced control system strategies for wind power generation systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
