Real-time electromagnetic visualisation using augmented reality and accelerated models

Given the recent push towards the next-generation wide band-gap semiconductor devices, electromagnetic interference is a growing concern due to the higher switching frequencies, voltages and currents. Therefore, understanding the electromagnetic behaviour of power electronic systems is important. Vi...

description Given the recent push towards the next-generation wide band-gap semiconductor devices, electromagnetic interference is a growing concern due to the higher switching frequencies, voltages and currents. Therefore, understanding the electromagnetic behaviour of power electronic systems is important. Visualising the real-time thermal dynamics of these systems is possible using infrared imaging cameras. However, no equivalent tool exists for the real-time prediction of electromagnetic fields. This is due to the computational complexity of electromagnetic problems which typically makes them too slow to model in real-time. By implementing a number of techniques to accelerate this process, the simulation time can be significantly reduced, allowing the electromagnetic dynamics of a system to be predicted in real-time. This thesis explores how real-time simulation models and extended reality technologies can be used to replicate the thermal-imaging effect but for electromagnetics. An innovative augmented reality application is developed allowing the 3D visualisation of electromagnetic effects overlaid on the physical device in real-time.
