The power factor in a single-phase circuit (or balanced three-phase circuit) can be measured with the wattmeter-ammeter-voltmeter method, where the power in watts is divided by the product of measured voltage and current. The power factor of a balanced polyphase circuit is the same as that of any phase. The power factor of an unbalanced ...
The zero power factor curve (also zero power factor characteristic, ZPF, ZPFC) of a synchronous generator is a plot of the output voltage as a function of the excitation current or field using a zero power factor (purely inductive) load that corresponds to rated voltage at rated current (1 p.u.).
Power-voltage curve (also P-V curve) describes the relationship between the active power delivered to the electrical load and the voltage at the load terminals in an electric power system under a constant power factor. [1] When plotted with power as a horizontal axis, the curve resembles a human nose, thus it is sometimes called a nose curve. [2]
In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as Voltage, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.
The Lanczos algorithm is most often brought up in the context of finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, but whereas an ordinary diagonalization of a matrix would make eigenvectors and eigenvalues apparent from inspection, the same is not true for the tridiagonalization performed by the Lanczos algorithm; nontrivial additional steps are needed to compute even a single eigenvalue ...
A valley-fill circuit is a type of passive power-factor correction (PFC) circuit. For purposes of illustration, a basic full-wave diode-bridge rectifier is shown in the first stage, which converts the AC input voltage to a DC voltage.
The method is based on the concept of using periodogram spectrum estimates, which are the result of converting a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. Welch's method is an improvement on the standard periodogram spectrum estimating method and on Bartlett's method , in that it reduces noise in the estimated power spectra in ...
Kron reduction is a useful tool to eliminate unused nodes in a Y-parameter matrix. [2] [3] For example, three linear elements linked in series with a port at each end may be easily modeled as a 4X4 nodal admittance matrix of Y-parameters, but only the two port nodes normally need to be considered for modeling and simulation.
