Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of Design and Control of Drives and Electrical Machines focuses on the development and optimization of electrical machines, such as motors and generators, as well as the control systems that govern their operation. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to enhance the design and performance of electrical machines. This includes the development of new machine topologies, advanced materials, and optimization techniques. Moreover, control systems play a critical role in ensuring the efficient and safe operation of these machines. Researchers are investigating various control strategies, such as sensorless control, fault detection and diagnosis, and advanced control algorithms, to improve the performance and reliability of drives and electrical machines.
The field also addresses emerging trends, such as the integration of renewable energy sources. With the shift towards clean and sustainable energy, there is a need for electrical machines that can efficiently convert and utilize power from renewable sources like solar and wind. This requires the design of machines with specific characteristics and control systems that can accommodate the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation.
Overall, the field of Design and Control of Drives and Electrical Machines focuses on advancing the performance, energy efficiency, and reliability of electrical machines through innovative design methodologies and control strategies. This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to exchange ideas and contribute to the ongoing progress in this dynamic field.
The aim of this Special Issue is to attract original research and review papers in the field of Design and Control of Drives and Electrical Machines. Major topics include, but are not limited to:
- Permanent magnet machines;
- AC/DC machines;
- Reluctance machines;
- Multiphase machines;
- Motor control and motor drives;
- Sensorless control;
- Power electronic devices (si and wide band gap) and applications;
- Other areas in electric machines;
- Other areas in motor drives and power electronics.

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).
