Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives are widely used in electric vehicles, industrial automation, robotics, aerospace systems and household appliances because of their high efficiency and power density. With the increasing demand for high-performance, high-reliability and energy-efficient motor drive systems, advanced PMSM control technologies have attracted extensive attention from both academia and industry. Recent advances in digital control platforms, power electronic devices and intelligent algorithms have significantly improved the dynamic performance and operational efficiency of PMSM drives. However, practical challenges such as parameter variations, inverter nonlinearity and load disturbances continue to motivate the development of advanced control and optimization methods for PMSM drive systems.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the modelling, control, optimization and implementation of PMSM drive systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-efficiency PMSM drive systems for electrified transportation, industrial energy saving and renewable energy;
- Electromagnetic performance analysis, loss reduction, efficiency mapping and power density improvement of PMSM systems;
- Energy-efficient operation strategies, including MTPA, flux-weakening operation, loss minimization and wide-speed-range efficiency optimization;
- Power quality improvement, current ripple reduction, harmonic suppression and inverter nonlinearity compensation in PMSM drive systems;
- Power output regulation and stable operation of PMSM/PMSG systems in renewable energy generation and grid-connected applications;
- Machine–converter–grid coordinated operation and energy management of PMSM-based power conversion systems.
- Fault diagnosis, condition monitoring and fault-tolerant operation for maintaining electrical performance, reliability and energy output.
Authors are encouraged to link their control strategies to energy-related targets such as efficiency enhancement and loss mitigation. Works focused exclusively on control theory with no connection to energy conversion applications (e.g., electric vehicles, energy-saving equipment, renewable energy) fall outside the scope of this Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
