Special Session 1
Design and Analysis of Permanent Magnet Machines and Systems
Organizers:
Prof. Libing Jing, College of Electrical Engineering and New Energy, China Three Gorges University, China
Prof. Yuting Gao, School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Wuhan University, China
Keywords:
Permanent Magnet Machines, Design and Analysis, Multi-physics Coupling, Control Methods
This Special Session focuses on the design, modeling, control and performance analysis of PM machines, with an emphasis on electromagnetic field computation and multi-physics characterization. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
With the rapid development of electrified transportation, renewable energy systems, and high-efficiency industrial drives, permanent magnet machines have become a core enabling technology. This session aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and engineers to exchange innovative ideas covering analytical and numerical methods for electromagnetic field computation—including harmonic modeling, magnetic field modulation theory, and multi-physics finite element analysis. Particular attention will be given to accurate prediction and reduction of losses (copper loss, iron loss, eddy current loss…) and to coupled thermal analysis for improving reliability, efficiency, and power density.
The session will also highlight state-of-the-art optimization methodologies, such as multi-objective optimization, surrogate modeling, topology optimization, and intelligent algorithms applied to PM machine design. Emerging topics including novel machine topologies, high-speed operation, fault-tolerant design, and integrated drive systems are encouraged. By integrating analytical theory, numerical computation, and engineering applications, this Special Session aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerate the development of next-generation high-performance PM machines.
