Determination of Inactive Powers in a Single-Phase AC Network

Based on the development of theory reactive power and distortion power, starting with works Fryze Budeanu, it has been found that contradictions in definition components inactive powers are caused by errors introduced intermediate concepts corresponding calculations when switching to nonlinear non-sinusoidal AC circuits. The materials modern researchers numerical carried out made possible trace differences between confirm orthogonality properties active, components. paper defines conditions for achieving a balance an network loads, compiled tested criteria leading absence single-phase network. Using time base projection generalized vectors vector diagrams, is shown compliance does not determine mutual similarity voltage curve current load. It well-known term “distortion power” unfortunate wording, since this although characterizes interaction harmonics currents voltages different ordinal numbers, determined visual or degree load waveforms relative supply curve.
