Visualization and Animation of Inverter-Driven Induction Motor Operation

This paper discusses a new model of an inverter- driven induction motor that enables direct animation and visualization of the inverter and motor operation. The models of the inverter and induction motor are physically based model in actual quantities. As such they enable direct animation and visualization of the operation of the inverter- driven induction motor. The paper discusses the models and the animation and visualization approach. Specifically, the animation and visualization screens are discussed in terms of the displayed information. The implementation is in Open GL that permits rendering as well as rotation, panning, and zooming in real time. The paper presentation is by means of a live presentation of the animation and visualization models.
