Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the global attention to environmental protection and sustainable energy development, the market demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is gradually increasing. As one of the key components, the electrical machines involved electric vehicles have achieved substantial levels of development and are poised to become integral to further technological innovations. The main directions of innovation and development include being more efficient, lighter, higher-power, smarter and more diversified, and comfort and safety have also become integral elements. The achievement of these objectives may involve the next-generation machine topology, innovative research on control strategy, new techniques in magnetics and field analysis, as well as advanced technologies for power electronic converters and inverters. This special section aims to present current state-of-the-art research addressing the design and control of electrical machines within the context of electric vehicle applications. We encourage researchers in this field to contribute their original papers to share their technical achievements with the readers. The subjects include, but are not limited to:

  1. New machine topology of electric machines in EV;
  2. Innovative methods of machine design and analysis in EV;
  3. Multi-objective optimization of electric machines in EV;
  4. Vibration and noise suppression technology of electric machines in EV;
  5. Efficient and reliable control of the power train in EV;
  6. Power electronic devices in the application of EV machine;
  7. New technologies related to motor and drive integration in EV;
  8. Applications for hub motors or multi-motor systems in EV;
  9. Other advanced technologies related to modeling, design, and control of electric machines in EV.

The application of AI to the electric machines in EV. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
