An implementation of a real-time experimental/analysis system for the energy conversion laboratory

This paper presents a system for visually analyzing the electromagnetic fields of electrical machines used in the energy conversion laboratory. The system utilizes the finite element method as well as various modules to achieve a real-time effect in the analysis of electrical machines while hands-on experimentation is in progress. The proposed system is aimed at developing a tool that would help improve the student's understanding of electromagnetic fields inside these machines and its use in calculating performance measures as well as operational concepts pertaining to the practical study of electrical machines.
