Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The need for the efficient and high density power electric machines has led to study of various new topologies and optimization of the classic ones. The use of numerical analysis has become a regular used tool for the evaluation of the performances of the electrical machines. Also, the employment of various analytical models represents an important tool for the above mentioned purpose. In this context, the studies on these topics are always of interest for the researchers in this domain.
This Special Issue aims to publish researches on different topologies of electrical machines, based mainly on, but not limited to Magnetic Field Computations and Energy Efficiency Studies. These analyses are challenging for the researchers as efficiency increases cannot be achieved without finding innovative solutions. Also, analytical and numerical analyses are always subject to approaches leading to remarkable progresses in the study of the electrical machines. Given the above considerations, topics of interest are:
- Innovative design of rotary and linear machines, with or without permanent magnets
- Techniques for optimization
- Analytical and numerical electromagnetic analysis
- Application of new magnetic materials
- Thermal and mechanical simulations
- Control strategies
- Noise, vibration and heat analysis
- Energy Efficiency Studies
- Energetical Optimisation Analysis

Title: Modification of the design of a rotary-linear induction motor to improve its operational parameters
Authors: Marcin Szczygieł,; Jarosław Joostberens; Tomasz Trawiński; Paweł Kowol; Joachim Pielot; Rafał Setlak; Joanna Bijak; Zygmunt Kowalik
Affiliation: Silesian University of Technology
Title: Optimization of a tuned inductive choke using particle swarm optimization
Authors: Rafał Wojciechowski; Łukasz Knypiński; Milena Kurzawa; Michał Gwóźdź
Affiliation: Poznan University of Technology
Abstract: The article presents an algorithm and computer script to optimization of a tenable inductive choke. The swarm optimization algorithm was applied in the optimization procedure. A mathematical model of an optimized of a tenable inductive choke was developed. The structure of the tenable inductive choke was described by three design variables. The multi-objective compromise function was taken into account. The optimization procedure managing the cooperation with mathematical model of the optimized electromagnetic devices. Selected results of the optimization were presented and discussed.

Abstract: In high-power electrical machines, various materials are employed for clam** structures with specified geometric dimensions. This study investigates the impact of clam** plate thickness on eddy current losses across different materials and frequencies. A simplified configuration was selected to experimentally validate the numerical model for calculating eddy current losses and to elucidate the effect of plate thickness. A parametric analysis is conducted, and significant findings are presented and discussed.
