Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Novel Designs, Modeling, and Sizing Optimization of Electrical Machines”.
In many applications today, the constraints are often severe and of different natures, pushing the designers of electrical machines to develop specific topologies and sizing methodologies.
The increase in specific power, for example, leads to pushing the magnetic saturation and heating constraints beyond the limits usually acceptable by conventional analytical models. Electrical machines are also increasingly bigger, considering their working cycle with the search for a complex compromise between energy efficiency, mass, cost, etc. Considering the working cycle, the control strategy (flux weakening management) thus becomes an important part of the problem, directly impacting the design of the machine.
Taking all of these constraints into account therefore leads to the development of specific sizing tools and methods.
The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight the impact of these optimizations under strong and multiple constraints in the design of electrical machines, highlight the development of more efficient technological solutions (cooling, materials, power supply, etc.) or adapted sizing methodologies (multiscale optimization, multiphysics, design considering working cycle, etc.).

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.
