Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the recent tendencies towards green energy and decreased carbon emissions, electric energy is becoming more and more popular. As a result, research in the field of electric machines and power converters has intensified, aiming to increase one device characteristic without significantly worsening others. In this sense, the first and most important step is proper mathematical modelling, which can decrease the number of prototypes, reduce the development time, and save a significant amount of money. Another important step is the proper mathematical processing of test results, which reduces the duration of tests and the complexity and cost of test benches. There is no one ideal mathematical model that fits all tasks. Their methodology and accuracy vary depending on application requirements, and therefore developing the optimal modelling technique is a challenging task that depends on requirement specifications and may significantly vary from one project to another.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers reporting on mathematical approaches to the modeling, optimal design, and control of electric machines and power converters. The main topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Analytical models (electromagnetic, thermal, etc.) of electric machines and power converters;
- Numerical models (finite element method, boundary element method, equivalent circuits, etc.) of electric machines and power converters;
- Multi-physics models of electric machines and power converters;
- Lifetime modeling of electric machines and power converters;
- Loss modeling of electric machines and power converters;
- Optimal design methodologies of electric machines and power converters;
- Optimization techniques for the fast and efficient optimal design of electric machines and power converters;
- Advanced test methods for electric machines and power converters;
- Offline and online methods for parameter identification of electric machines and power converters;
- Field-oriented control and direct torque control;
- Model predictive control of electric machines and power converters;
- Sensorless and reduced sensor control of electric machines and power converters;
- Robust control of electric machines and power converters;
- Optimal control techniques for electric machines and 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 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. Mathematics 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.
