Analysis and Design of High-Energy-Efficiency Permanent Magnet Machines: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing development of renewable energy conversion systems, electric vehicles, electrification transportation, electric ship propulsion, traditional motor energy-saving reconstruction, electric aircraft and aerospace, high-energy-efficiency permanent magnet (PM) machines have been in great demand and received increasing attention. Accordingly, the key performance of PM machines, including power density, torque density, efficiency, stability, and reliability, needs to be further improved, and their size, weight, cost, vibration, and noise need to be further reduced to meet the high-performance demand of various applications. In this context, high-energy-efficiency PM machines, such as field-modulation PM machines, PM-assisted synchronous reluctance machines, high-temperature superconducting machines, magnetic gears, etc., are widely studied. Nevertheless, further research on the analysis, design, optimization, and control methods of this kind of high-energy-efficiency machine is still needed.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present and discuss the latest advances in the theory, topology, design, modeling, optimization, and control methods of all kinds of high-energy-efficiency PM machines. Other relevant technologies involving high-performance machines are also encouraged.

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.
