AC Steady State Power Analysis

This document examines AC steady state power, including instantaneous power, average power, complex power, and power factor correction. It outlines objectives to examine these concepts, lists equipment used, and describes the contents on power factor correction and ramifications of power. The document then provides calculations and analysis of power factor for a circuit, and shows how adding a parallel capacitor can increase the power factor. It concludes that a parallel capacitor can decrease power loss by consuming power that would otherwise be dissipated.

AC Steady State Power
We have many types of power instantaneous,
average, apparent, active, reactive, and complex
power.

the instantaneous power is p(t) = v(t)i(t) & it can


be written as p(t) = 0.5(VpIp)[cos(θv-θi) + cos(2ωt
+ θv + θi )] ,And we have Another power is the
average power Pave = 0.5(VpIp) cos(θv-θi) and it
can be written as Pave = Vrms Irms cos(θv-θi).

the power factor is Pf = cos(θv-θi) = cosθZL and the


load in RC circuit has a leading power factor & a
lagging power factor in RL circuits. And the
complex power is defined as S = Vrms I*rms , S =
P + jQ where Q is the reactive power and the
magnitude of the complex power is the apparent
power and the phase is the power factor angle.

AC Steady State Power

 Ramifications of Power:
We connect the circuit shown below and then take
some readings and fill the following table :

Source voltage Source voltage


Amplitude Angle
2v 0

the source voltage is V = 2cos (6280t)


w=2π*1000=6280 rad.s

load voltage load voltage Angle


Amplitude
2v 0

the load voltage is V = 2cos (6280t)


w=2π*1000=6280 rad.s

load current load current Angle

AC Steady State Power
11mA A=0.8 , B=1.4
so the angle =34.8

Pf = cos(θv-θi) = cos(34.8) = 0.82


Pave = Vrms Irms cos(θv-θi) =0.5*2*0.011cos34.8 =
0.00902 w
Apparent power = Vrms Irms = 0.5*2 *0.011 = 0.011w

 power factor correction:


We connect a parallel capacitor with the circuit and
measure the power factor then we fill the following
table:

load current load current Angle


Amplitude
1.7mA A=0.2 , B=0.4
So the angle is 30o

Pf = cos(θv-θi) = cos(30) = 0.866

Conclusions:
 the parallel capacitor increasing the power
factor and the inductor decrease it,so that we

can decrease the loss of power by adding a
capacitor parallel to the load in order to
consume most of the power dissipated

 the power factor in the capacitive and


inductive load is zero because cosθZL = cos-90=
cos90 =0
