Design and Analysis of Permanent Magnet Machines for Electric Propulsion Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions in the form of research and review papers to a Special Issue of Energies titled "Recent Trends in Design and Analysis of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines for Electric Propulsion Systems".

As the global demand to reduce greenhouse gas emissions increases, manufacturers of automobiles, ships, and aircraft are facing increasing challenges related to the electrification of propulsion systems. Among the various types of traction machines, permanent magnet synchronous machines have received considerable attention in the past few decades due to their superior properties in terms of efficiency and torque density compared to their counterparts.

The aim of this Special Issue is to promote ground-breaking methods and approaches for the design and analysis of permanent magnet synchronous machines and their implementation in the harsh environments of electric propulsion systems.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Design and optimization of permanent magnet machines;
• Surrogate-model-based multi-objective design optimization;
• Analytical and numerical techniques;
• Multiphysics aspects of permanent magnet machine design;
• Application of new materials and design configurations;
• Multiphase design configurations and topologies;
• Design without heavy rare-earth magnets;
• Fault-mode analysis and diagnostic strategies;
• The impact of tolerances and uncertainties in machine geometry;
• Correlation of experimental results with simulation;
• Application-specific issues (e.g., traction, naval, and aerospace applications).

We would like to invite you to submit your outstanding research works to this Special Issue, and we look forward to receiving your contributions. Please send a tentative title and a short summary of the manuscript to Energies Editor Ms. Stephanie Sang (stephanie.sang@mdpi.com).

Dr. Gilsu Choi

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.
