Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For decades, the world has been facing a transformation of energy use, moving from fossil-based sources to several new ones primarily based on renewables (e.g., wind or solar). The electrification of transportation has a critical role in the electrical energy sector, where electric/hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) have been introduced to mitigate air pollution and climate change aiming for a more suitable environment.
In order to fulfil the standard for EV/HEV, it is inevitable to apply high-performance control techniques for the electric drives employed in the vehicles. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to allow the research community to contribute to the field control of electric drives by proposing sophisticated control approaches. Major topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advancements in nonlinear control (e.g., sliding-mode or finite-control-set model predictive control) of electric drives;
- Advancements in control of power electronics for integrating distributed energy resources;
- Design, analysis and applications of modern control techniques for electrical machines;
- Optimization algorithms;
- Fault detection and fault-tolerant control of electric drives;
- Control power electronic converter topologies for motor drives.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
