Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electrical machines and drives are among the most important components used in wide application range, as industry, transportation, power systems, etc. Also, nowadays, their development is a real challenge, as it is concentrating on efficiency improvements together with material and manufacturing cost reductions. The literature of such devices is huge covering a lot of working principles and topologies. Worldwide a great number of specialists are involved in these fields, who are seeking both for the latest technical advancements and for publishing possibilities reaching a great audience.

This topic intends to collect papers in the fields of electrical machines and drives which are focusing on the design, optimization, modelling, experimental testing, and fabrication, as well on their application fields. Multidisciplinary approaches are welcomed.
