Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject are of “Future Trends in Design of Electrical Machines”.
Even though the electrical machine was invented more than 200 years ago, the technology is still evolving. There is continuous demand for new and better electrical machines in a wide application range and in all market sectors. All these electrical machines, regardless of their application or power rating, require design, manufacturing, testing, condition monitoring, and control techniques.
From traditional machines today, higher efficiency with reduced emission, improved functionality, and higher safety and reliability are increasingly demanded. This has led to a need for more precise calculation–optimization methods and paved the way for new types of electrical machines. We can see different machine types with permanent magnets and switched and synchronous reluctance machines that are offering many exiting features for energy conversion. Thus, they become suitable candidates for new application areas, such as robotics, marine machines, aircrafts, traction applications, etc.
New technological developments also open up new possibilities for the production of electrical machines. For example, additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is opening up new ground for innovations in low-volume production due to faster and cheaper prototyping, reduced lead time, and shorter supply chains.
There are many reasons for the development of electrical machines. The need for new machines and topologies comes from both legislation and customer requirements. In addition, industry and machine control systems are evolving, bringing new opportunities for design of new electrical machines.
The Special Issue will focus on the development of electrical machines based on new designs, new applications, and new condition monitoring and control techniques. Papers related to the development of electrical machines, leading this technology into the future, are most welcome.

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.
