Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pursuit of superior performance in permanent magnet machines is a multi-faceted challenge that necessitates deep integration and co-optimization across modelling, design, and control domains. The escalating requirements for power density, operational efficiency, and dynamic response in cutting-edge applications—from electric aviation and high-speed spindles to next-generation electric vehicles—demand a holistic approach. Breakthroughs are increasingly born at the intersection of these disciplines, enabled by multi-physics modelling, innovative material applications, and sophisticated optimization algorithms. This synergistic advancement is crucial for pushing the boundaries of what permanent magnet machines can achieve.
This Special Issue is dedicated to presenting the latest breakthroughs and comprehensive reviews that exemplify this integrated approach. We seek contributions that demonstrate significant advancements in the theoretical frameworks, computational methods, and practical implementations of modelling, design, and control optimization for high-performance permanent magnet machines. The scope encompasses everything from component-level innovation to system-level synergy, with a strong emphasis on methodologies that bridge these traditionally separate domains.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
Advanced Modelling Techniques:
- Multi-Physics Modeling (Electromagnetic, Thermal, Structural, Fluid Dynamics)
- Loss Calculation and Prediction Models under Complex Operating Conditions
- Dynamic and Parametric Modeling for Real-Time Control Applications
- Modeling of Fault Conditions and Degradation Mechanisms
- Data-Driven and Surrogate Modeling for Rapid Design and Analysis
Innovative Design and Optimization:
- Topology Optimization for Electromagnetic and Thermal Performance
- Multi-Objective and Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimization Frameworks
- Novel Rotor and Stator Topologies for Enhanced Torque and Reduced Ripples
- Design for Manufacturability, Cost-Effectiveness, and Sustainability
- Integrated Design of Motor and Cooling Systems
Control Strategies and Optimizations:
- Real-Time Optimization of Control Parameters for Efficiency Map
- Robust, Adaptive, and Non-Linear Control for Performance Enhancement
- AI-Enhanced and Learning-Based Control Algorithms
- Vibration and Noise Suppression through Advanced Control
- Fault-Tolerant Control Strategies and System Health Management
- Co-Design and Co-Optimization of Machine and Controller
