This ebook of COMPEL includes the extended and improved versions of a selection of 19 papers among 77 presented during the Seventh International Conference and Exhibition on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER'12, March 22-25, 2012). Over the two last decades and up-to date, it is widely recognized that permanent magnet (PM) synchronous machines are attractive candidates especially for direct-drive applications that eliminate gearboxes or other transmission components between the electric machine and the mechanically-coupled system. However, due to the significant increase of the rare-earth PM cost, a growing attention to induction machines is presently re-energized especially in large-scale production industries such as the automotive one. This ebook is mainly dedicated to the design, analysis, and control of PM synchronous as well as induction machines.
