High-Performance Electric Drives for Transport Applications (High-Speed Machines, High Pole Number Machines, High Frequency Machines)

Dear Colleagues,

With the ever-growing development of electric-drive-based transport, high-performance electric drives are being driven to unprecedented performance metrics, including the achievement of high torque (power) density and high efficiencies over a wide speed range, together with ensuring reliable operation over their lifetime. Numerous novel electrical machines and control strategies are emerging to address these challenges. In this Special Issue, contributions on high-performance electric drives for transport applications are welcome, including machine topologies (such as high-speed machines, high pole number machines, high frequency machines), control strategies, power converter topologies, performance analysis, multidomain design optimisation, thermal improvement techniques, component light-weighting, reliability, etc.

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.
