Analysis, Design and Optimization of Electric Machines

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions in form of research articles as well as review articles to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Analysis, Design, and Optimization of Electric Machines”.

In recent decades, electrical machines have seen extensive development, both scientific and technology-related. New concepts in design, introduction of new materials, increased efficiency, and involvement of new optimization and calculation techniques allow broadening their utilization in different industrial areas. They are recognized as important components in many traditional industrial applications, such as industrial drives, power generation systems, and home appliances, as well as in new, emerging ones such as electrical vehicles, medicine, aeronautics, and autonomous subsea vessels. This Special Issue serves to address the present challenging issues with new designs and optimization techniques in the field of electric machines.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Electrical machine design;
• Optimization techniques in design of electrical machines;
• Determination of parameters based on calculation techniques in the design procedures;
• Calculation and measurement of stray effects and losses in electric machines;
• Design of electrical machines for enhanced cooling capability;
• Influence of manufacturing processes on electrical machine performance;
• Analysis of electrical machines based on analytical and/or numerical approaches confirmed by measurements;
• High-speed electric motors;
• Electric machines with reduced rare earth materials;
• New materials for electrical machines;
• Innovative electrical machine topologies towards high efficiency;
• Low-voltage (24–72 V) multiphase electrical machines;
• Electrical machines in medicine

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.
