Recently the concerns about getting-worse global climate and environment push forward the developments of renewable energy conversion and transport electrification as well as highly efficient industrial drives. Electrical machines are the main components in these systems in which the electrical-mechanical energy conversion takes place. The new materials, new power electronics, and powerful design and simulation tools provide new opportunities for us to design and build more advanced electrical machines. Therefore, research and development activities on electrical machines become extraordinary active during the last 5-10 years.

ICEM, as a dedicated international conference on electrical machines, has naturally become a meeting point and forum for active researchers and engineers to exchange knowledge and form new collaborations. The presentations of the latest research results will inspire participants from Europe, America, Asia, Afrika and all over the world. The discussions can be very fruitful when the scholars from universities meet the experts from industries.

Topics covered by the conference are based on the following tracks all with electrical machines as the core part:

1. Rotating machines
   Induction machines – Synchronous machines – Permanent magnet synchronous machines -Switched reluctance machines – Synchronous reluctance machines – DC machines
2. Design issues
   Field computation – Analytical design – Optimal design
3. Special machines
   Fractional slots machines – Linear machines – Levitation/launching – Micro & nano machines – Piezo actuators – Electrostatic actuators – High speed machines – Direct drives
4. Thermal and losses issues – Magnetic insulation materials
   Materials (insulation, magnetic and supra) – Thermal, losses & efficiency issues – High frequency effects
5. Electrical drives
   Sensorless control – Modulation techniques – Vector control – Direct torque/power control- Flux & power control – Fault tolerant control
6. Diagnostic and condition monitoring
   Monitoring and diagnosis – Fault detection – Measurements/instrumentation – Testing and standards
