Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-speed electric machines are attracting more and more attention due to the demands of the industry for higher power density, size reduction, and elimination of the gearbox. Today’s applications are electrical vehicles, turbo compressors, and special industrial drives. To operate high-speed electric machines at high rotational frequency, high-speed electric motor drives need to be utilized that provide high electrical output frequencies. To ensure good controllability of the motor and low harmonics in the output currents, high switching frequencies and/or multi-level topologies are required.
This Special Issue on topologies and design considerations for high-speed drives invites you to propose new ideas on how to overcome the challenges of high-speed drives. The focus will be on suitable topologies and their realization regarding active and passive components, the cooling concept, gate drivers, and reliability.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
