Recent Issues on Motors and Motor Drives

Dear Colleagues,

Motor and motor drives play important roles in all aspects of our life, from home appliances to industries, and from low power to medium, large, and very large power sizes. As their applications are broad, the number and types of electrical motors are still progressively growing. Some of these recently emerging applications are electric vehicles, robots, aircrafts, artificial satellites, etc. This Special Issue focuses on recent issues with motors and motor drives as well as their effective solutions through analysis, simulation, and/or experiments.
Authors are invited to submit full papers describing original research works in related areas including but not limited to:

• Design, analysis, and testing of electric motors;
• Control methods of motor drives, including all the aspects of control problems for motor drives (controller design, observer design, fault-tolerant control, sensorless control, etc.);
• Applications of motors and motor drives;
• Evaluation of motor losses and efficiency;
• Motor drive systems using wide-bandgap semiconductor (SiC/GaN) converters;
• Advanced power-electronic converter topologies for motor drive systems;
• Advances in magnetic materials and components for motors and drives;
• Modern fault diagnosis methods for motors and motor drives;

Techniques using artificial intelligence for motors, drives, and related 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 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.
