Machines | Introduction of “Electric Machines and Drives” Section

We are pleased to introduce the Section “Electric Machines and Drives” in the journal Machines. Prof. Dr. Jose Alfonso Antonino-Daviu is serving as the Section Editor-in-Chief.

Electric machines and drives is a traditional area of research, but it is in continuous evolution. The development of new designs of different machine typologies, the design of new drive topologies, new control strategies, novel condition monitoring and fault diagnosis techniques, as well as the application of recent signal processing, artificial intelligence (AI), pattern recognition or machine learning tools for diverse purposes within the electrical machine and drives area, are evidence of the dynamism of the area.

This Section invites paper submissions on the emerging research and technologies related to electrical machines and drives (design, control, materials, optimization and diagnosis).

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

• New electrical machine and drive designs;
• Use of new materials in electrical machines and drives;
• Novel electrical machine control strategies;
• Enhanced optimization methods for electrical machines and drives;
• New condition monitoring and fault diagnosis methods;
• Modern applications of advanced signal processing tools;
• Recent application of AI methods to electrical machines and drives;
• Electrical machines and drives and machine learning;
• New pattern recognition methods applied to electrical machines and drives.
