    Study Notes

    Reactive Power

    • Reactive power (Q) is essential for maintaining voltage levels in AC systems, measured in VAR (Volt-Amperes Reactive).
    • A specific example shows Q = 0.205 PU VARS, depicting its role in power systems.
    • Reactive power causes the current to exceed the necessary amount to provide real power (P), which can lead to inefficiencies in the system.

    Power Decomposition

    • Power can be decomposed into real power (P) and reactive power (Q).
    • Instantaneous power (p(t)) can be expressed as p(t) = v(t) * i(t), where v(t) represents voltage and i(t) represents current.
    • The relationship shows P = 0.275 PU Watts, indicating the amount of real power being utilized.

    Frequency-Domain Model

    • The steady-state frequency-domain model is represented by S = V I*, where S includes both real power (P) and reactive power (Q).
    • The presence of reactive power increases the total current required to transmit real power, leading to potential system congestion.

    Instantaneous Electric Power

    • Instantaneous electric power can be expressed using max voltage (Vmax) and max current (Imax), factoring in phase differences (θ).
    • Equation: p(t) = [cos(θ) - cos(2ωt - θ)]/2 illustrates how instantaneous power varies due to phase shifts.

    Average vs Instantaneous Power

    • Instantaneous power (p(t)) is differentiated from average power due to its dependence on time-varying elements.
    • The average power computed using the formula: p(t) = Vm Im cos(θv - θi) + Vm Im cos(2ωt + θv + θi)/2 reflects the steady-state behavior of electrical systems.

    Significance of Phase Shift

    • The phase shift (θ) between voltage and current impacts the real power delivered and the overall efficiency.
    • Understanding the dynamics between reactive and real power is crucial for optimizing power systems.
