Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Permanent magnet motors can be applied across a wide range of fields, including new energy vehicle drive systems, industrial servo drives, household appliances, wind turbines, robotics, and various precision instruments. Due to their high power density, superior efficiency, and high torque density, permanent magnet motors have become indispensable in modern industry and daily life. Nonetheless, as demands for higher performance and broader applications grow, these motor systems face significant challenges. These include the risk of permanent magnet demagnetization at elevated temperatures, manufacturing costs, increased vibration and noise levels, and mechanical stress. However, ongoing advancements and breakthroughs in high-performance permanent magnet materials, innovative motor designs, efficient manufacturing techniques, and intelligent drive control strategies are providing solutions to overcome these challenges.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances related to the theory, design, modelling, and control of various types of permanent magnet motors.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:
- New material applications;
- Innovative motor structures;
- Advanced design methods;
- AI-based design and optimization;
- Efficient cooling and heat management;
- Loss reduction;
- Mechanical optimization;
- Vibration and noise;
- Advanced control algorithms for permanent magnet motors.

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.
