Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Permanent magnet machines are at the forefront of modern electromechanical technology, essential across applications from renewable energy systems and automotive traction to industrial automation, aerospace, and high-performance consumer products. Known for their exceptional efficiency, high power density, and precise control capabilities, these machines are indispensable in advancing sustainable technologies and high-performance systems. As their roles expand, continuous progress in their analysis, control, and design becomes increasingly crucial.
Recent advances in control strategies—such as field-oriented control, direct torque control, and sensorless control—have unlocked new levels of precision and dynamic responsiveness, essential for achieving optimal performance across diverse and demanding applications. These innovations, paired with sophisticated modelling techniques like finite element analysis (FEA) and equivalent circuit models, deepen our understanding of the complex interactions within permanent magnet machines, frequency converters, and control methods. Furthermore, the adoption of multiphysics approaches that integrate electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical considerations, alongside advanced optimisation techniques has become essential for maximising performance, material efficiency, and reliability. Such developments are driving the emergence of novel permanent magnet machine topologies and advanced control methods that push the boundaries of science and technology.
This Special Issue, "Advances in Analysis, Control and Design of Permanent Magnet Machines", invites original research papers and review articles focused on the latest innovations in these areas. We welcome contributions that explore new techniques in the modelling, control, and optimisation of permanent magnet machines, particularly those advancing current technology and offering insights into future developments.
Research areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Advanced analysis methods for permanent magnet machines;
- Innovative control strategies for enhanced performance of permanent magnet machines;
- Design and topology optimisation specific to permanent magnet machines;
- Multiphysics analysis with integrated thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic considerations;
- High-speed applications and configurations tailored to permanent magnet systems;
- Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction techniques;
- Sustainable design approaches minimising reliance on rare-earth materials.
