Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Against the backdrop of global joint efforts to address climate change, promote energy transition, and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, enhancing energy efficiency has become one of the most urgent tasks across the industrial, transportation, and civil sectors. Motor systems are the largest single source of electricity worldwide, accounting for more than 45% of total power generation. Therefore, motor system optimization for sustainable, energy-efficient applications will have a significant impact on global energy savings and carbon reductions and bring considerable economic benefits.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest research to this Special Issue, which aims to share the latest developments in motor system optimization for sustainable and energy-efficient applications.
This Special Issue aims to showcase advanced research on motor system optimization, focusing on novel motor design methodologies, energy-efficiency enhancement, advanced control strategies, and system integration. The topic aligns perfectly with the journal's focus on machines, power electronics, and renewable energy.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel motor topologies (including induction motors, synchronous motors, and permanent magnet motors), materials, and manufacturing techniques to improve efficiency and power density.
- Advanced control strategies and thermal management for minimizing losses (e.g., iron, copper, and mechanical losses).
- Hybrid and multi-physics modeling of motor systems under varying loads and environmental conditions.
- Multi-scenario optimization (e.g., single/multi-objective (s), multi-physics, multi-levels, multi-modes) of induction motors, synchronous motors, and permanent magnet motors for energy efficiency.
- Fault-tolerant design, fault (modeling/diagnosis), and condition monitoring.
- Integration of motor systems with energy storage and grid infrastructure for resilience.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
