Energy Management and Efficiency in Electric Motors, Drives, Power Converters and Related Systems, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to a Topic on the subject of “Energy Management and Efficiency in Electric Motors, Drives, Power Converters and Related Systems”, which is a continuation of a successful previous Topic. Today, there is growing attention on increasing the use of renewable energy to guarantee sustainable growth all over the world. In the short term, however, even more interesting results can be obtained by increasing energy efficiency. As an example, the European Union has set itself a 20% energy savings target by 2020, which is roughly equivalent to turning off a few hundred power stations. Today, 20% of all final energy consumption in the EU is in the form of electrical energy, but this is predicted to grow significantly over the next few decades. Given this scenario but also considering that electric motors in industrial applications consume 35%–40% of the generated electrical energy worldwide, power electronics is a key enabling technology allowing the efficient generation, use, and distribution of electrical energy and the implementation of energy-saving applications at reasonable costs, also leading to the huge diffusion of electrical motor drives.

I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Topic. Papers are solicited which cover aspects of energy efficiency, including the following topics and any other relevant topics that may not be directly specified.

• Energy management in transport vehicles;
• High-efficiency electric machines and electrical drives;
• High-efficiency power converters: topologies, modulation, and control;
• Wide-bandgap power electronic devices and applications;
• Renewable energy systems;
• Grids, smart grids, and utility applications;
• Electrical energy storage systems;
• Energy conversion systems for information technology;
• Energy efficiency for residential, commercial, and industrial applications;
• Wireless power transfer;
• Systems for electrical propulsion and transportation electrification;
• Electric and hybrid vehicles;
• Highly efficient components for energy conversion.
