Theme:

The rapid development of electrified vehicles and the increasing demand for driving performance are accelerating the technological innovation of electrical machines and their drive systems. Various electrical machine types are being used for commercially electrified vehicles, such as permanent magnet synchronous machines, induction machines, electrically excited synchronous machines, and reluctance machines. Each of them brings numerous control problems and strategies that are valuable to study. Recent research on high-performance motor control technologies is working towards optimizing electric drive efficiency, improving vehicle transient and steady-state performance, and enhancing powertrain safety. Therefore, a timely special session is held in ISIE 2023 to discuss the recent progress in advanced control strategies for electrical machines in electrified vehicles.
