Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrical machines have long been regarded as the backbone of industry. This is particularly the case for permanent magnet (PM) machines, owing to their high torque/power density, high efficiency and also high fault tolerance capability. As we move towards a more sustainable carbon-neutral future, there exists enormous potential to exploit the benefits of PM machines across many different industries, including automotive (e.g., electric and hybrid electric vehicles), aerospace (e.g., more electric and all electric aircraft) and renewable energy (e.g., offshore wind, tidal power). Due to the sheer number of PM machines that will be employed in the coming decades, even a modest increase in their power density and efficiency achieved through novel design and optimization will bring significant benefits to our society. For these reasons, we are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies, regarding the ‘Design and Optimization of High Power/Torque Density Permanent Magnet Machines’.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry to exchange their recent achievements within the scope of PM machine topologies, novel design and optimization approaches, novel machine topologies, multiphysics modelling, and the application of PM machines. Detailed topics include but are not limited to:
- Novel PM machine and actuator topologies;
- Machine design and optimization;
- Machine performance analysis;
- Analytical and numerical modelling;
- Coupled multiphysics analysis;
- Advanced thermal management of PM machines;
- Fault modelling and diagnostics of fault-tolerant PM machines;
- Other issues such as NVH in PM machines.

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.
