Advanced Power Electronic Technologies in Electric Drive Systems

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your original research or review papers to this Special Issue, “Advanced Power Electronic Technologies in Electric Drive Systems”, in Machines. The power electronic converter is the main part in an electrical drive system that is used in many applications, such as electrical vehicles, hospital and military applications. The type of control method and the switching frequency of the power converter have a great impact on the obtained machine performance. The efficiency and torque density of the drive system are greatly dependent on power converter switching. With the rapid progress of power electronics, this impact could be minimized. This Special Issue will include the most recent and advanced scientific studies, with a special emphasis on the development and practical concerns for power electronic controlling techniques and their configuration; however, this is not limited to the type of machine, or the type of power converter of the control methods. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Power converter topologies and associated control and modulation techniques.
• Modeling and switching enhancement techniques for power converters.
• The design and modeling of the drive system.
• New power electronics technology.
• New technologies in multiphase drives.
• Switching losses in power converters.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
