Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the future requirement of reducing CO2 emissions and therefore producing more and more electrical energy, AC generators will undergo ever-increasing development. To meet this challenge of producing continuously increasing quantities of electrical energy, the new generator types, whether they are low or high power, will have to ensure continuity of service by being ever more fault-tolerant.
A suitable solution to increase the reliability of a generator is to use a multiphase machine with symmetrical or asymmetrical structure. Indeed, with this configuration, an electrical fault on the machine or on the converter does not induce the shutdown of the electrical energy production, since three phases are remaining; this lies in contrast to classical solutions designed around three-phase machines.
Nevertheless, in this fault mode, due to the unbalances between the stator and rotor sides, the quality of the produced energy can be significantly impacted in terms of harmonics, as an example.
Therefore, advanced control strategies must be applied to multiphase machines to cope with this unwanted behavior during fault mode.
This Special Issue focuses on the development of fault-tolerant advanced control strategies for multiphase induction generators, whether they are low or high power.
Contributions may concern, for example, self-tuning, intelligent control, fuzzy control, sliding mode control, or predictive control techniques, among others. Particular attention will be paid to the experimental applications of the proposed control techniques.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
