A)
 If the above loads are all connected across the same power supply, determine the
total real and reactive power taken from the supply. Plots for i(t), v(t), p(t), pR(t) and
px(t) over an interval of 0 to 2π by using m-file MATLAB programs. Compare with
the results obtained from the curves.

To accomplish this task, we'll first calculate the values for voltage, impedance, current,
real power, and reactive power for each type of load (inductive, capacitive, and resistive)
using the given parameters. Then, we'll create MATLAB scripts to generate plots for each
load type and analyze the total real and reactive power consumed.

Let's start by calculating the values:

Given parameters:

Vm = 300 V
θv = 30°
For inductive load: Z = 1.25∠60° Ω
For capacitive load: Z = 2∠-30° Ω
For resistive load: Z = 2.5∠0° Ω
We'll need to convert the angles to radians for MATLAB calculations.

 From pR(t) and px(t) plots, estimate the real and reactive power for each load. Draw a
conclusion regarding the sign of reactive power for inductive and capacitive loads.
B)

 A single-phase load is supplied with a sinusoidal voltage


v(t) = 400 cos (377t)
The resulting instantaneous power is
P(t) = 800 + 1000 cos (754t – 36.87 o)
Find the complex power supplied to the load.

P(t) = 800 + 1000 cos (754t – 36.87 o)


From this, we can extract the real power and reactive power components. The constant term 800
represnets the real power, while coefficient of the cosine term 1000 represents the reactive power.
Complex power is then given by S = P+jQ.
 Find the instantaneous current i(t) and the rms value of the current supplied to the
load.
The relationship between instantaneous power and voltage can be used to find the instantaneous
current. Dividing the instantaneous power function by the voltage function yields the current
function. The RMS value of the current can then be calculated.

 Find the load impedance.


Using Ohm's law, we can determine the load impedance. Using Ohm's law, we can
determine the load impedance and current is given by Z= V/I.

 Write a Matlab m-file program to plot v(t), p(t), and i(t) = p(t) / v(t) over a range of 0
to 16.67 ms in steps of 0.1 ms. From the current plot, estimate the peak amplitude,
phase angle and the angular frequency of the current, and verify the results obtained
above.
4. Study Questions
 What are advantages of balanced three-phase versus single phase systems?
Enhanced Efficiency: Three-phase systems offer superior efficiency for transmitting
substantial power over long distances compared to single-phase systems.

Even Load Distribution: In three-phase systems, loads are evenly distributed among the
phases, ensuring better load sharing and reduced voltage drop.

Compact Design: Three-phase motors are typically more compact and lightweight than
single-phase motors of the same power rating.

Reduced Copper Requirement: Three-phase systems demand less copper for


transmission lines compared to single-phase systems for equivalent power transfer.

Improved Power Factor: Three-phase systems generally exhibit a better power factor,
leading to enhanced efficiency and reduced losses.

 What are the active and passive sign convention?


Active Sign Convention: This convention considers power flowing into a component as
positive and power flowing out of a component as negative. It's widely used in electrical
engineering for power calculations.

Passive Sign Convention: In this convention, the voltage drop across a passive
component and the current through it are assumed to have the same polarity. It's employed
in circuit analysis to represent passive components.

 Why rms value is calculated? What does it mean?


Purpose of RMS Calculation: The RMS (Root Mean Square) value is computed to
express the effective value of an alternating current (AC) or voltage waveform. It serves
as a means of determining the equivalent DC value that would generate the same heating
effect in a resistive load as the AC waveform.

Significance of RMS Value: The RMS value quantifies the magnitude of an AC


waveform in terms of its equivalent DC value. For instance, if an AC voltage has an RMS
value of 120 volts, it implies that a DC voltage of 120 volts would induce the same
heating effect in a resistive load as the AC voltage. Thus, the RMS value facilitates
comparison of effective magnitudes between AC and DC quantities.
