Interactive simulations
Browser simulations I built for teaching electrical machines and power systems. Each one runs here in the page. Nothing to install, no MATLAB licence.

4 simulations- Electrical Machines 101
Induction machine: stator and rotor MMF
Why the stator and rotor magnetomotive force waves rotate at the same speed even though the rotor itself turns more slowly: the idea slip actually encodes.

DC machine: torque–speed and equivalent circuit
The torque–speed characteristic alongside the equivalent circuit that produces it, so the curve stops being something to memorise.

Synchronous generator: terminal voltage under load
An isolated generator compared with one tied to an infinite bus: the case where terminal voltage sags with load, and the case where it cannot.

Power step and the equal-area criterion
A step in mechanical power, the swing it produces, and the equal-area criterion that predicts whether the machine stays in synchronism.
