Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More than ever, research on electrified vehicles and their associated systems is of interest to worldwide research teams in the field of electrical engineering. Drives with a high efficiency, high reliability, and high power in a compact size are the target for an industrial market. Regarding better mobility, the presence of light vehicles (low- and middle-power for electric drives), autonomous or not, is obvious. Therefore, motorization adapted to mass production with controlled costs must be re-innovated. Indeed, electric drives that give a high performance in terms of control at any operating point, as well as a high level of reliability, would be an asset to allow for the effective development of mobility. Increasing reliability with acceptable costs means avoiding oversizing (safety coefficient) and instead developing fault-tolerant structures that operate robustly under failure. This is why multiphase electric drives (with more than three phases) are becoming a potential candidate to replace classical three-phase drives.
Therefore, we are pleased to propose this Special Issue of Energies titled “Design, Modelling, and Control of Multiphase Drives for Transportation”. The aim of this Special Issue is to share the newest research concerning the design, modelling, and control of multiphase drives and the associated power electronic topologies. The inherent potential of multiphase drives is fault-tolerance, which should be obviously encouraged.

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.
