Advanced Modeling and Optimization of Electrical Drives Technology

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue in Energies, entitled “Advanced Modeling and Optimization of Electrical Drives Technology” is now open for submissions of research and review articles.

Electrical drives provide the fundamental basis for many appliances, industrial equipment and electrified transportation systems. In the context of global sustainability, they must fulfill various requirements, not only physically and technologically but also environmentally. Therefore, their modeling and optimization has grown increasingly complex as more engineering disciplines/domains and constraints become involved.

This Special Issue will address the present challenges in advanced modeling and optimization methods for electrical drives, including design analysis methods and models, optimization models, control algorithms and methods/strategies.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Electrical drives for electric vehicles, more electric aircraft and wind energy conversion systems;
• Advanced topologies of electrical drives;
• Novel applications of electrical drives;
• Optimization methodologies of electrical drives;
• Advanced novel PWM, sensorless and vector and direct torque control techniques;
• Fault diagnosis;
• Fault-tolerant control;
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) for electrical drives;
• Model-based control.

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.
