A real-time experimental-analysis system for the undergraduate electric energy laboratory

This paper presents a system for visually analyzing the electromagnetic fields of electrical machines used in an undergraduate energy conversion laboratory. The system utilizes the finite element method as well as various modules to achieve a real-time effect of the electrical machines. The presented system is aimed at developing a tool that would help improve the student's understanding of electromagnetic field distribution and their use in calculating performance measures as well as operational concepts pertaining to the practical study of electrical machines. A description of the system's modules along with a comparison between experimental and proposed system results is shown.
