Advanced Electrical Machines and Drives for Green Vehicle and Sustainable Transport

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing concern around energy saving and environmental protection, green vehicles and sustainable transport based on the electric powertrain are attracting significant attention. Electrical machines and drives, as the key components of electrified transportation, are exposed to new challenges of a more compact size, lower cost, higher power density, higher efficiency, lower noise and vibration, improved reliability, etc. This Special Issue is devoted to the latest developments of advanced electrical machines and drives with applications on green vehicles and sustainable transport. The technical progresses involved in advanced machine concepts, new control strategies, multiphysics optimization, thermal management techniques, and system-level design are all welcomed from both academia and industry.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  1. Permanent magnet machines;
  2. Switched reluctance machines;
  3. Flux-modulated machines;
  4. Emerging machine topologies for transportation electrification;
  5. Advanced control strategies;
  6. Multiphysics design optimization;
  7. Noise and vibration analysis and reduction;
  8. Advanced thermal management 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.
