Single Phase Circuits: Power Definitions and Components (Lectures 1-8)
Single Phase Circuits: Power Definitions and Components (Lectures 1-8)
1.1 Introduction
The definitions of power and its various components are very important to understand quantitative
and qualitative power quality aspects in power system [1]–[5]. This is not only necessary from the
point of view of conceptual clarity but also very much required for practical applications such as
metering, quantification of active, reactive power, power factor and other power quality parameters
in power system. These aspects become more important when power system is not ideal i.e., it
deals with unbalance, harmonics, faults and fluctuations in frequency. We therefore, in this chapter
explore the concept and fundamentals of single phase system with some practical applications and
illustrations.
Let us consider a single-phase system with sinusoidal system voltage supplying a linear load as
shown in Fig. 1.1. A linear load is one which consists of ideal resistive, inductive and capacitive
elements. The voltage and current are expressed as below.
√
v(t) = 2 V sin ωt
√
i(t) = 2 I sin(ωt − φ) (1.1)

v i
∆
Q = max {preactive (t)} (1.3)
It should be noted that the way Q is defined is different from P . The Q is defined as maximum
value of the second term of (1.2) and not an average value of the second term. This difference
should always kept in mind.
Equation (1.2) shows that instantaneous power can be decomposed into two parts. The first term
has an average value of V I cos φ and an alternating component of V I cos 2ωt, oscillating at twice
the line frequency. This part is never negative and therefore is called unidirectional or dc power.
The second term has an alternating component V I sin φ sin 2ωt oscillating at twice frequency with
a peak vale of V I sin φ. The second term has zero average value. The equation (1.2) can further
be written in the following form.
With the above definitions of P and Q, the instantaneous power p(t) can be re-written as following.

√
Example 1.1 Consider a sinusoidal supply voltage v(t) = 230 2 sin ωt supplying a linear load of
impedance ZL = 12 + j13 Ω at ω = 2πf radian per second, f = 50 Hz. Express current i(t) as a
function of time. Based on v(t) and i(t) determine the following.
(a) Instantaneous power p(t), instantaneous active power pactive (t) and instantaneous reactive
power preactive (t)
(b) Compute average real power P , reactive power Q, apparent power S, and power factor pf .

The above implies that,

Z
P = p(t) dt
T 0
P = V I cos φ = 230 × 13 × cos 47.29o = 2028.23 W
Reactive power (Q) is given as maximum value of preactive , and equals to V I sin φ as given below.
For Case 2, the voltage, current and various components of the power are shown in Fig. 1.3. The
explanation given earlier also holds true for this case.

For Case 3, the voltage, current and various components of the power are shown in Fig. 1.4. Since
the load is resistive, as seen from the graph preactive is zero and p(t) is equal to pactive . The average
value of p(t) is real power (P ), which is equal to 4408.33 W.
Case 4: When the load is purely reactive, ZL = j13 Ω , |ZL | = 13 Ω, I = 230 13
= 17.692 A, and
φ = 90o . Therefore, we have
√
v(t) = 230 2 sin ωt
√
i(t) = 17.692 2 sin(ωt − 90o )
p(t) = 230 × 17.692 cos 90o (1 − cos(2 × 314t)) − 230 × 17.692 sin 90o sin(2 × 314t)
= 0 − 4069 sin(2 × 314t)

For Case 4, the voltage, current and various components of the power are shown in Fig. 1.5. The
load in this case is purely reactive, hence their is no average component of p(t). The maximum
value of p(t) is same as preactive (t) or Q, which is equal to 4069 VArs.
The load current is now considered as nonlinear load. A non-linear load is one which consists
of switched elements such as diode, transistors, MOSFET, etc., in the circuit. In power circuit,
non-linear load current exists, when source supplies to power electronics based loads such as rec-
tifier, inverter, cyclo-converters etc.. These loads cause presence of harmonics in the load current.
Assuming that all harmonics are present in the load current, the voltage and current are expressed
as following.

This is represented by power tetrahedron instead of power triangle (in case of voltage and current
of sinusidal nature of fundamental frequency). In this context, some important terms are defined
here.
Displacement Power Factor (DPF) or Fundamental Power Factor (pf1 ) is denoted by cos φ1
and is cosine angle between the fundamental voltage and current. This is equal to,
P1
DPF = pf1 = cos φ1 = . (1.13)
S1
The Power Factor (pf ) is defined as ratio of average active power to the total apparent power
(V I) and is expressed as,
P
Power Factor (pf ) =
S
V I1 cos φ1 I1
= = cos φ1
VI I
= cos γ cos φ1 (1.14)
The equation (1.14) shows that power factor becomes less by a factor of cos γ, which is ratio of
fundamental to the total current. This is due to the presence of the harmonics in the load current.
The nonlinear load current increases the ampere rating of the conductor for same amount of active
power transfer with increased VA rating. Such kind of load is not desired in power system.

The term I (pdc−dc ) contributes to power from dc components of voltage and current. Terms II
(pdc−ac ) and III (pac−dc ) result from the interaction of dc and ac components of voltage and current.
In case, there are no dc components all these power components are zero. In practical cases, dc
components are very less and the first three terms have negligible value compared to IV term.
Thus, we shall focus on IV (pac−ac ) term which corresponds to ac components present in power
system. The term IV can be written as,

(1.43)
The terms DI and DV in (1.43) are known as apparent powers due to distortion in current and
voltage respectively. These are given below.
DV = I1 VH
DI = V1 IH (1.44)
These are further expressed in terms of THD components of voltage and current, as given below.

T HDI = (1.45)
I1
From (1.45), the harmonic components of current and voltage are expressed below.
VH = T HDV V1
IH = T HDI I1 (1.46)
Using (1.44) and (1.46),
DV = V1 I1 T HDV = S1 T HDV
DI = V1 I1 T HDI = S1 T HDI
SH = VH IH = S1 T HDI T HDV (1.47)
Therefore using (1.43) and (1.47), SN could be expressed as following.
18
2
SN = S12 (T HDI2 + T HDV2 + T HDI2 T HDV2 ) (1.48)
SN ≈ S1 DI (1.49)
The above relationship shows that as the THD content in voltage and current increases, the non fun-
damental apparent power SN increases for a given useful transmitted power. This means there are
more losses and hence less efficient power network.
S2 = P 2 + N 2 (1.50)
This power includes both fundamental as well as non fundamental components, and is usually
computed by knowing active power (P ) and apparent power (S) as given below.
√
N = S2 − P 2 (1.51)
S 2 = P 2 + Q2 + D2 . (1.52)
Therefore,
p
D= S 2 − P 2 − Q2 . (1.53)

The fundamental power factor as defined above is also known as displacement power factor.
19
1.4.7 Power Factor
Power factor for the single phase system considered above is the ratio of the total real power (P )
to the total apparent power (S) as given by the following equation.
P
pf =
S
P 1 + PH
= p 2 2
S1 + SN
(1 + PH /P1 ) P1
= p (1.55)
1 + (SN /S1 )2 S1
Substituting SN from (1.48), the power factor can further be simplified to the following equation.
(1 + PH /P1 )
pf = p pf1 (1.56)
1 + T HDI2 + T HDV2 + T HDI2 T HDV2
Thus, we observe that the power factor of a single phase system depends upon fundamental (P1 )
and harmonic active power (PH ), displacement factor (DP F = pf1 ) and THDs in voltage and
current. Further, we note following points.
1. P/S is also called as utilization factor indicator as it indicates the usage of real power.
2. The term SN /S1 is used to decide the overall degree of harmonic content in the system.
3. The flow of fundamental power can be characterized by measurement of S1 , P1 , pf1 , and Q1 .
For a practical power system P1 >> PH and T HDV << T HDI , the above expression of power
factor is further simplified as given below.
