Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The amount of interest in electrical machines and drives with higher specific power and efficiency means this field is a constant challenge among the research and industrial communities. This challenge has been enhanced with the emergent and increasingly critical electrification of modern transportation systems, for example, in the aircraft and automobile industries, thus creating the need for new designs of electrical machines and drives and the extension of their current electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical limits. The emergence of new advanced electromagnetic materials, new design topologies, and cooling techniques have been key aspects that have contributed to overcoming this challenge and unlocking future generation applications. We invite submissions to this Topic regarding the latest developments in and applications of future-generation electrical machines and drives. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Electrical machines’ design and optimization;
  • Multiphysics coupled simulation and optimization;
  • Electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical simulations;
  • Application of new electromagnetic material to electrical machines and drives;
  • Novel machine configurations and topologies;
  • Electrical machines designed for aircraft and automotive applications;
  • Alternatives to rare-earth electrical machines;
  • High-specific-power electrical machines;
  • Advanced cooling techniques;
  • Cryogenic/superconducting electrical machines;
  • All-cryogenic power train technology;
  • Electrical drive systems;
  • Control strategies for different types of electrical motors;
  • Cryogenic power electronics; 
  • Specific designs for low-pressure environments.

Electric motors play a crucial role in modern industrial and domestic applications. With the trend of more and more electric drives, such as electric vehicles (EVs), the requirements for electric motors become higher and higher, e.g., high power density with good thermal dissipation and high reliability in harsh environments. Many efforts have been made to develop high performance electric motors, such as the application of advanced novel electromagnetic materials, modern control algorithms, advanced mathematical modeling, numerical computation, and artificial intelligence based optimization design techniques. Among many advanced magnetic materials, soft magnetic composite (SMC) appears very promising for developing novel electric motors, thanks to its many unique properties, such as magnetic and thermal isotropies, very low eddy current loss, and the prospect of low-cost mass production. This paper aims to present a comprehensive review about the application of SMC for developing various electric motors for electric drives, with emphasis on those with three-dimensional (3D) magnetic flux paths. The major techniques developed for designing the 3D flux SMC motors are also summarized, such as vectorial magnetic property characterization and system-level multi-discipline robust design optimization. Major challenges and possible future work in this area are also discussed. Full article
