Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Toward a Sustainable More Electrified Future: The Role of Electrical Machines and Drives", aims to explore the pivotal role of electrical machines and drives in advancing sustainability and electrification across various industries. As the world transitions towards a more electrified future to mitigate environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency, electrical machines and drives have played a crucial role in enabling this transition. This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to showcase their latest findings, innovations, and insights related to the design, optimization, control, and application of electrical machines and drives for sustainable and electrified systems.
We invite you to submit your original work and review papers for publication in this Special Issue of Machines.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and Optimization: Novel designs, materials, and optimization techniques for enhancing the performance, efficiency, and sustainability of electrical machines and drives.
- Control Strategies: Advanced control algorithms, methodologies, and techniques used for improving the efficiency, reliability, and performance of electrified systems.
- Integration with Renewable Energy Sources: Strategies used for integrating electrical machines and drives with renewable energy sources (e.g., wind and solar) to enhance sustainability and promote renewable energy utilization.
- Energy Storage Systems: Applications of electrical machines and drives in energy storage systems (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors) for grid stabilization, load balancing, and renewable energy integration.
- Electrification of Transportation: Innovations in electrical machines and drives for electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and electrified transportation systems to reduce emissions and promote sustainable mobility.
- Industrial Applications: The application of electrical machines and drives in industrial processes, including manufacturing, automation, and robotics, to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
