TL;DR: In this article, the authors present various important aspects of thermal management in electric machines with the main focus on transportation applications and discuss design considerations, challenges, and methods for enhanced thermal management.

TL;DR: This paper presents nonlinear optimization-based position and speed estimation scheme for IPMSM drives with arbitrary signal injection generated by inherent switching ripples associated with finite control set model predictive control and proposes a compensator for standstill operation that prevents converging to saddle and symmetrical solutions.

TL;DR: A unified algorithm is designed to achieve arbitrary injection for low-speed sensorless control and seamless transition across full-speed region and the feasibility of the proposed estimation algorithm is verified for a 15-kW IPMSM drive.

TL;DR: A new torque sharing function (TSF) method is proposed for torque ripple reduction in switched reluctance machines (SRMs) and exhibits lower current tracking error due to the consideration of the current dynamics.

TL;DR: The proposed online optimal tracking method is successfully implemented in an off-the-shelf motor control unit, and the performances are experimentally validated for wide operating regions.
