Appendix 3 Three-Phase and Half-Cycle Symmetry Relationships

Assume that the phase (and consequently line) voltages of a three-phase system satisfy half-cycle and three-phase symmetry but are otherwise arbitrary steady state functions of time. These voltages have the form [1]

where

e=

rot and the angular frequency is constant. By half-cycle symmetry

vc(8 + 1t) = -vc(8)


and by three-phase symmetry

(A3.8)

(A3.9) Hence, if the solution for a balanced three-phase system is known over the interval 0 ~ 8 5 1t/3 , by combining Eqs. (A3.4) to (A3.9) the solution for the next interval, 1t/3 58+ 1t/3 5 21t/3 , can be determined as

where va(9), vb(9), and vc(9) are known from Eqs. (A3.I) to (A3.3). The solution for the remaining four 60 intervals of a complete fundamental cycle are readily obtained by progressively increasingthe argumentsof Eqs. (A3.IO)to (A3.12).
