Abstract

Considerable research effort has been directed to the definition of measurement of electrical power mainly due to the proliferation of non-linear loads in the power system. In this paper a new single-phase definition is evaluated from the compensation point of view using two simple examples. One study uses a linear RLC load with source voltage that has harmonics. The other is a diode-RL circuit with sinusoidal supply. The examples illustrate the application of the new definitions to determine the powers in a linear and non-linear load and then to utilise this information to compensate for unwanted quantities. The analysis is performed with ATP and Mathcad.
