Editorial on the Special Issue on Advanced Control of Electric Motor Drives

In APRIL 2013, a call was sent out to authors to propose papers for publication in the IEEE JOURNAL OF EMERGING AND SELECTED TOPICS IN POWER ELECTRONICS (JESTPE) for a Special Issue on advanced control of electric motor drives. Seventy nine papers were received for review and 21 were accepted for publication. The accepted papers are broadly divided into four parts: 1) sensorless control of electric machines; 2) fault-resilient control strategies; 3) advanced motor control techniques; and 4) design and analysis of synchronous-type electric machines.
