New Technologies in the Design and Application of Electrical Machines

Dear Colleagues,

The field of electrical machines is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by the demand for higher efficiency, reliability, compactness, and sustainability. These challenges stem from the increasing penetration of renewable energy systems, the electrification of transportation, industrial automation, and the need for environmentally conscious design approaches. The continuous development of advanced materials, innovative manufacturing methods, and sophisticated modeling techniques is reshaping the way electrical machines are conceived, optimized, and deployed across various sectors.

This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research that highlights recent advances in both the design methodologies and practical applications of electrical machines. It will serve as a platform for scientists, engineers, and industry professionals to share their latest findings and insights into novel topologies, improved performance characteristics, and solutions to the pressing technical and environmental challenges of the 21st century.

Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Innovative machine topologies (e.g., axial-flux, transverse-flux, modular, and hybrid designs);
• Advanced materials (high-performance magnetic materials, composites, superconductors, and additive manufacturing);
• Thermal management and cooling strategies;
• Novel design optimization techniques integrating artificial intelligence, digital twins, and multiphysics simulations;
• High-efficiency drives for renewable energy, electric vehicles, aerospace, and marine applications;
• Reliability, fault tolerance, and condition monitoring;
• Integration of electrical machines into energy systems and smart grids.

We particularly encourage contributions that bridge the gap between theoretical research and industrial practice, demonstrating how emerging technologies can enhance the sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and operational performance of electrical machines. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
