Electrical machines are extensively used in our everyday life. On the one hand, this can be seen in the rapid growth of generation from renewable energy sources such as wind, hydropower, tidal, etc. On the other hand, at the energy utilization and consumption end visible to most people, we are also witnessing revolutionary changes in many sectors, such as the electrification of all types of transportation, i.e., electric vehicles, industry-wide initiatives for more-electric aircraft and more-electric ships, military vehicles and defense systems, industrial automation, industrial and personal robots, medical devices and instruments, flying drones, electronic toys, and the multitude of household appliances and devices, all of which are designed and built with electric motors of various types and sizes.

The electrification of transportation hinges on a number of core technologies, such as power electronics and energy storage. In this article, the spotlight is on electric machines (EMs), a term that encompasses all electromechanical energy conversion devices, i.e., motors and generators. Computational electromagnetics, like the finite element method (FEM), play a vital role in a modern EM design workflow. Such methods have been under development for decades, however, with recent advances in computing, they are now mainstream. One of their key features is that they allow us to search a design space with unprecedented accuracy. But perhaps more importantly in today’s rapidly changing landscape, they are accelerating the pace of innovation, reducing prototyping costs and the time it takes to go from concept to product.

Electrical power converters have become indispensable units in modern power systems, with an increasing number of installations, application fields, and ratings. They are used for power conditioning; for controlling network, regulating generation, or load power; for integrating storage systems; and importantly for integrating most renewable energy plants. As a typical example, a modern wind generator will have two ac–dc converters back-to-back connected, facilitating optimal energy extraction from variable speed wind turbines and ensuring that the power plant meets network connection requirements.

The scientific method is the foundational basis of our intellectual inquiry and is a fundamental tool, not only in testing our hypothesis, analyzing our assumptions, and understanding the physical realities, giving the design engineer direction in anticipating and predicting future designs, but also in determining the accuracy and precision of our hypothesis through comparison.

One of the most remarkable features of power and energy systems pertains to their extremely far-reaching scales, which are unique in the field of engineering. In continental Europe, for example, the synchronous ac power system integrates capitals from Lisbon to Warsaw and from Athens to Copenhagen. Reaching farther out to the north, high-voltage dc (HVdc) links connect to Sweden and the United Kingdom. And as in other regions of the world, those grids are being further developed to integrate more renewables. This only adds to the diversity of technologies in the power grids and contributes to the wide range of timescales involved. Those range from electrothermal interactions in the range of minutes over electromechanical transients within seconds, down to microseconds or even faster for the electromagnetic transients of traveling waves.
