Electric Machines and Drive Systems for Emerging Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable industrial growth with due consideration to the environment is the driving force behind the several emerging trends in the industrial world. Among these trends, electrification of various traditionally inefficient systems is at the forefront. Many of these emerging applications have highly demanding performance requirements from the electric machines and drive systems. This Special Issue invites articles that address the recent advancements, technical challenges impeding advancement and novel solutions to these issues. The emerging applications include but are not limited to electrification of transport, heavy machineries and industrial processes. Articles which deal with the latest hot topics in machines and drives are particularly encouraged, such as permanent-magnet (PM) machines, magnet-free machines, bearing-less machines, high-speed machines, low-speed/high-torque machines, high-temperature superconducting (HTS) machines, direct-drive machines and their drive systems for torque, speed position control using advanced techniques. In addition, articles which discuss overcoming the design challenges using advanced optimisation leading to novel topologies and control techniques would be of particular interest.

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-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.
