Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, permanent magnet synchronous machines have drawn extensive concern worldwide due to their large torque capacity, high efficiency and robust configuration. This Special Issue will focus on advances in permanent magnet synchronous machines, including design, control and applications.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • High-torque density permanent magnet machine advances;
  • Multi-physics analysis of permanent magnet machines;
  • Optimization of permanent magnet machines;
  • Design of special permanent magnet machines;
  • Novel applications of permanent magnet machines;
  • Design and control of high-speed permanent magnet machines;
  • Design and control of multi-phase permanent magnet machines;
  • Design and control of fault-tolerant permanent magnet machines;
  • AI-related techniques for permanent magnet machines;
  • New material application for permanent magnet machines;
  • Other aspects related to permanent magnet synchronous machines.

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 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. 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.

The non-uniform thermal distribution in the active neutral-point clamped (ANPC) topology causes significant thermal gradients during high-power operation, restricting its use in large-capacity power conversion systems like variable-speed pumped storage. This study introduces a novel hybrid fundamental frequency modulation strategy. Through a dynamic allocation mechanism based on a reference signal, this strategy alternates inner and outer power switches at the fundamental frequency, ensuring balanced switching frequency across devices. Consequently, it effectively mitigates the inherent loss imbalance in conventional ANPC topologies. Quantitative analysis using a power device loss model shows that, compared to conventional carrier phase-shift modulation, the proposed method reduces total system losses by 39.98% and improves the loss-balancing index by 18.27% over inner-switch fundamental frequency modulation. A multidimensional validation framework, including an MW-level hardware platform, numerical simulations, and test data, was established. The results confirm the proposed strategy’s effectiveness in improving power device thermal balance. Full article
