Engineering: High Performance Electric Drives for Energy Conversion and Modern Industrial Applications

Researchers in potential fields like energy conversion systems (wind, wave, etc.), electric and hybrid vehicles, and other industrial applications have recently shown interest in electric drives. Electrical machines, power converters, and control systems are the main components of an electric drive system. The control system is considered as the vital part that determines how well the drive operates under different operating conditions. In addition, depending on the type of used electrical machine, electric drives may suffer from high nonlinearity, multivariability, time-varying states that call for more complex control techniques. All of these challenges represent a realistic control problem that must be handled to ensure high dynamic performance. The essential purpose of this Topical Collection is to collect high-caliber submissions that showcase advancements in control techniques for electric drives, discuss implementation challenges, and explore their application in potential fields.

Prospective researchers are invited to submit original research for consideration in this Topical Collection. Possible subjects of interest may include the following:

• Control systems for high performance electric drives.

• Design and control of electric drives for energy conversion systems.

• Electric drives for hybrid vehicles.

• Sensorless control of electric drive systems.

• Robust and adaptive control of electric drive systems.

• Design and control of power electronics for electric drive systems.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to: SDG 7, SDG 9
