Study Notes
Reactive Power and Phase Shift
- Reactive power is related to the phase shift between voltage and current.
- The phase shift affects the current required to provide real power, with a higher reactive power causing a higher current.
Instantaneous Power and Average Power
- Instantaneous power is the product of instantaneous voltage and current.
- Instantaneous power can be decomposed into two terms: real power and reactive power.
- Real power is the average power consumed by a load, while reactive power is the power that does not perform any useful work.
- The average power is the fixed average component of the instantaneous power.
Steady-State Frequency-Domain Model
- The steady-state frequency-domain model is represented by S = V I* = P + jQ.
- P is the real power, and Q is the reactive power.
- The existence of Q causes current to be higher than necessary to provide P, which can "clog up the system".
Instantaneous Electric Power
- Instantaneous electric power is represented by p(t) = Vmax Imax sin(ωt) sin(ωt - θ).
- The power can be decomposed into two terms: a fixed average term and a zero average term.
Power Decomposition
- Power can be decomposed into two terms: P (1-cos(2wt)) and Q sin(2wt).
- P is the real power, and Q is the reactive power.
- The values of P and Q are given by P = 0.275 PU Watts and Q = 0.205 PU VARS.
