On Physical Phenomena that Determine the Effectiveness of the Energy Transfer in Electrical Systems

Abstract

The effectiveness of the energy transfer in electrical power systems depends on a number of physical phenomena. Their presence is not well recognized in the electrical engineering community, though; or they are wrongly interpreted. As long voltages and currents are sinusoidal and symmetrical, a reduction in the energy transfer effectiveness is associated usually with a presence of the reactive power. However, when the voltages and currents are distorted and/or asymmetrical, then there are many more phenomena that can contribute to this effectiveness decline. Majority of them were identifed in the frame of the Currents’ Physical Components (CPC)-based power theory. This paper describes and explains some of them.
