Simulation and Optimization of Electrotechnical Systems

Dear colleagues,

Understanding and finding the best solution for a given electrical problem is a big trend in contemporary research. To that end, I am pleased to announce that I will be serving as Guest Editor for a new Special Issue of Energies on “Simulation and Optimization of Electrotechnical Systems”.

For several years now, there has been a growing demand for electrification, which must meet regulatory and environmental constraints, be increasingly efficient and lightweight, and fulfil new functions.

More and more, the system aspect is considered from the design phase—it is no longer a question of designing a single component, but of considering it in its environment through the system approach. System design and modeling must focus on the behavioral understanding of components, but also, and above all, on the interactions between them and the couplings between the models of each component.

The aim of this Special Issue is to compile the latest research on system modeling, simulation, and optimization techniques, from both a theoretical and a realization point of view.

The issue will focus on the development, characterization, and use of meta-models, multidomain and multiscale modeling, but also the conduct of simulations from these models and system optimization. Concrete examples of implementation in modeling or optimal design of electrotechnical systems are also encouraged.

The targeted applications are (without being exhaustive) electrification, hybridization, isolated electrical systems (source and loads), electrical networks, electric propulsion and motorization, coupling of one or more components of power storage, electronics, motorization, mechanical transformation, EMC, etc.

Optimal design in electrical engineering requires the use of models for constraints and objectives. This special issue will accept proposals on modeling and optimization in electrical engineering.

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.
