"Special Issue": Line-Start Electric Motors: Opportunities and Challenges

This Special Issue aims to explore the design, analysis, optimisation, modelling, prototyping and testing of the line-start motors. It targets performance evaluation of line-start motors in terms of transient and steady-state operations and also evaluating, starting, demagnetisation, and thermal behaviour for various range of power ratings. The Special Issue covers the improvement of analytical and finite-element models in performance prediction as well as the development of the experimental setup in measurement of the transient behaviour of line-start machines under different combinations of the load torque and rotor inertia. It considers a wide range of line-start or direct-on-line motors including the induction motors (IMs), line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSMs), line-start synchronous-reluctance motors (SynRMs), etc.
