Power Electronic Converters in a Multiphase Drive Systems

Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to submit your original research or review papers to this Special Issue on “The impact of power electronic converter switching on multiphase drive systems” in Electronics.

The power electronic converter is the main part in a multiphase drive system that is used in applications, such as electrical vehicle, hospital and military applications. The switching frequency of the power converter has a great impact on the obtained machine performance. The efficiency and the torque density of the drive system are highly dependent on the power converter switching. With the rapid progress of power electronics, this impact could be minimized.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to optimally select the optimal switching or design a power converter that has a smaller impact on machine performance. Moreover, this impact is an important one to consider, especially under the fault condition. This is not limited to the type of machine or the type of the power converter. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Power converter topologies and associated control and modulation techniques.
• Modeling and switching enhancement techniques for power converters.
• New technologies in multiphase drives.
• Fault detection and diagnosis.
• Switching losses in power converter.

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.
