Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Permanent magnet (PM) machines and their associated drive systems have become key enabling technologies in modern electrification, powering applications ranging from electric vehicles and aircraft to renewable energy systems and industrial automation. As demands for higher efficiency, greater power density, improved reliability, and advanced control continue to rise, significant breakthroughs are being achieved in PM machine design, multi-physics modeling, material utilization, and intelligent drive strategies. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for reporting the latest research, emerging concepts, and technological innovations in the field of PM machines and drives. By bringing together both fundamental research and application-driven developments, this collection seeks to foster interdisciplinary insights and accelerate the advancement of next-generation PM machines and drive systems.
We welcome the submission of original research articles, review articles, and case studies focusing on the following topics (though this list is not exhaustive):
- Novel machine topologies;
- Magnetic field modulation concepts;
- Fault-tolerant design;
- Advanced materials;
- Thermal management techniques;
- High-fidelity dynamic modeling;
- Digital-twin-enabled design;
- High-performance control strategies;
- System-level integration;
- Multi-objective optimization.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
