Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to a Special Issue of the journal Energies on the topic “Winding Design of Electrical machines”.
The rapid development of electric propulsion for vehicles, ships, and aircraft requires the improvement of electrical machine performance in terms of dynamics, efficiency, high-power density, and the restraint of volume size. The actual trend in electrical machine design is focused on the use of high-speed electrical machines. In this way, the size and weight of the machine are reduced, but a great attention must be paid to the reduction of iron losses and skin effect losses.
Therefore, it is necessary to tackle several major challenges in the design of novel efficient cooling methods; many research efforts are inherent to the reduction of cooling system weight and the increase of its reliability. The types of material used for the conductors and insulation and the different winding arrangements able to provide a reduction of skin and proximity effect in the conductor have an important role in addressing the desired performance of electrical machines.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect original papers regarding recent innovation in the design of winding of electrical machines. The area of interest of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to the following topics:
- New type of winding arrangements;
- New cooling system for windings;
- New material for conductors and insulation;
- Thermal model for windings;
- Automatic manufacturing of windings;
- Optimization procedures for windings design;
- Finite element methods applied to winding analysis.

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.
