Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric machines are widely used in various contexts, such as households and industry. Different application scenarios impose different requirements on motors, such as high overload capacity, high control precision, wide speed regulation range, low temperature rise, low noise, high reliability, high power density, and high efficiency. To achieve these objectives, innovative studies need to be carried out in multiple aspects, including electrical materials, motor topologies, design methods, and advanced motor control strategies.
This Special Issue aims to present recent progress in the design and control of electric machines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Emerging applications of electric machines;
- Development and applications of new materials in motors, such as novel electrical silicon steels, permanent magnets, and insulation materials;
- Applications of new power electronic semiconductors in motor drives;
- New topologies of power converters and PWM modulation strategies;
- Novel motor structures, topologies, and their control strategies;
- Modeling and analysis methods for fast and precise evaluation of the performance of electrical machines;
- Multi-objective optimization design methods;
- Advanced cooling.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
