Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, electrical machine systems, as one of the core components for energy conversion and electricity consumption, are widely employed in many sectors of industry, transportation, and domestic life. To achieve the goals of net-zero schemes and address environmental issues, the rapid development of renewable energy generation, energy storage, electrified transportation, and environmentally friendly industries have significantly raised the requirements of high-performance power electronics-fed electrical machine drives to unprecedented levels. These requirements include, but are not limited to, high torque/power density, high efficiency, low torque ripple, low cost, high reliability, high mechanical strength, good thermal management capability, and remarkable integration with power electronics drive components.
To effectively address the ever-increasing performance demands that have already become challenges for existing electrical machine techniques, with particular emphasis on the influence of power electronics, researchers in both academia and industry are exploring innovative approaches across different disciplines. Within potential fields, new topologies and design techniques, the application of novel electromagnetic materials, and multiphysics-based design optimization methods, particularly for data-driven and artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted approaches, can be investigated for cutting-edge breakthroughs in the development of high-performance electrical machine drives. Moreover, the utilization of advanced manufacturing technology and control methods can also inspire emerging developments from systematic integration prospects. Therefore, more efforts can be directed toward high-performance electrical machines.
The following Special Issue is dedicated to providing a platform for researchers to exchange their latest research and newest ideas in the fields of the design, optimization, manufacturing, and control of high-performance power electronics-fed electrical machine drives and contribute to the ongoing progress in this dynamic field.
For the following Special Issue, both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Power electronics-fed machine drive systems;
- Permanent magnet machines;
- Reluctance machines;
- Electrically excited machines and induction machines;
- Data-driven design optimization;
- AI-assisted design;
- Advanced manufacturing techniques for machine drives;
- Integration design of machine and power electronics;
- Machine drive control.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
