Advanced Technologies in Electrical Machines and Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

The decarbonization and electrification of transportation rely heavily on electric machines, the main propulsion units of EV systems. The other EV subsystems, such as power electronics and batteries, are highly affected by e-machine efficiency. As this efficiency increases, energy consumption drops and, hence, lower battery capacity is needed for the same range of the EV.

In addition, compactness and light weight are critical aspects of e-machines as these impact their material cost and environmental footprint, the latter of which is directly dependent—along with recyclability—on the material and manufacturing techniques.

Therefore, advancements in e-machine design aim to introduce new topologies, manufacturing processes, sustainable materials, novel winding techniques, etc., to achieve more compact, cheap, sustainable, efficient, and quiet e-machines for EV applications.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Novel e-machine topologies;
• Novel approaches for mitigating vibration and noise in e-machines;
• Non-rare-earth e-machines;
• Aluminium winding e-machines;
• Hybrid wound field synchronous machines;
• Hybrid non-rare-earth e-machines;
• Loss reduction techniques;
• Additive manufacturing in e-machines;
• Lower-footprint e-machines;
• More recyclable e-machines for EV applications;
• New winding technology;
• Ultra-efficient e-machines for EVs;
• Novel e-machine integration with other electric drive unit subsystems;
• Multispeed EDUs for EV applications.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
