Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, the field of industrial electrical drives has faced a significant evolution thanks to the technological innovation of sensors, power converters, and their control strategies. Today, the energy consumption determined by electric drives corresponds to 46% of the global energy demand. Therefore, new optimization techniques and control algorithms have been developed to either maximize efficiency or reduce the harmonic content of the whole drive, maintaining the same performance. Moreover, advanced and high-accuracy measurement equipment is needed to allow the performance improvement of the power drive system.
Therefore, this Special Issue, entitled “Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Electric Drives: Challenges and Research Trends”, aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances and future perspectives related to the theory, design, modeling, application, and control of industrial electric drives.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Winding design methods for both traditional and new electric machines;
- Development of multiphase motors and drives;
- Efficiency measurement of electric motor drives;
- Innovative control algorithms of power converters;
- Multilevel converters for industrial motor drives;
- Techniques for power loss minimization in electric motor drives;
- Diagnosis and fault prediction in electric drives;
- Simulation tools, modeling, and analysis of traditional and new electric motors.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
