Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Addressing the global energy scenario requires the application of more competitive technological solutions in both the production and consumption of this energy. In this context, green energy generation, electric mobility, or more electric industrial processes are considered exciting solutions to avoid greenhouse gas emissions and optimize consumption. All of these solutions inherently include electric drives, and thus, these have caught the attention of researchers involved in the development of electric vehicles, energy conversion systems, and high-performance industrial motor applications. All of these fields of work focus on enhancing the electric drive performance from different approaches ranging from the use of new semiconductor technology to the introduction of new control strategies, from the improved design of electrical machines to new VSC topologies. For this reason, this Special Issue aims to provide an insight into the state of the art, advances of electric drives, their regulation schemes, and other progress in power conversion.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit original research, survey papers, or tutorials for consideration in this Special Issue, focusing on topics related to the main theme. These topics of interest may include, among others, the following:
- Advances in the introduction of new technologies in power conversion devices in electric drives (wide bandgap devices technology).
- Emerging technologies for electric drives, power converters and/or energy storage.
- Fault detection and fault-tolerant control algorithms for electric drives.
- Control power converter topologies for electric drives.
- Innovative power converter topologies.
- Power conversion designs, modulation, and regulation schemes.
- Advanced high-performance control strategies and reliability of electric drives.
- Predictive/adaptative control strategies for electric drives.
- Integration of multiphase electric drives in powertrains.
- Multiphase/multilevel power converters in electrical drives.
- Multiphase electric machines in electric drives.
- Neural networks and artificial intelligence applied to electric drive control.
- Modular multilevel converters (MMC).
- Control strategies and applications in electric drives.
- Modeling and/or regulation of components, power converters, and/or powertrains in electric traction.
- Sensorless control schemes for electric drives.
- Parameter estimation in electric machines.
- Innovations in electric drives in transportation electrification.
- Electric drives in smart grids infrastructures.
- Electric drives in energy storage applications.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
