Compute three-phase instantaneous active and reactive powers
Library

Description
The Power (3ph, Instantaneous) block computes the three-phase instantaneous active power P (in watts) and reactive power Q (in vars) associated with a periodic set of three-phase voltages and currents. These formulas are used to perform the calculations:
With these formulas, a current flowing into an RL circuit produces a positive P and a positive Q.
The computed instantaneous reactive power is accurate only for balanced and harmonic-free three-phase voltages and currents.
Inputs and Outputs
Vabc
The three-phase voltage signal.
Iabc
The three-phase current signal.
P
The three-phase instantaneous active power P, in watts.
Q
The three-phase instantaneous reactive power Q, in vars.
Examples
The power_ThreePhasePower
model
compares the outputs of the block with the Power (Positive-Sequence)
block and the Power (dq0, Instantaneous) block. It shows that the
Power (3ph, Instantaneous) block gives accurate results when the voltages
and currents are balanced and harmonic free. When the voltage supply
becomes unbalanced, the P output exhibits a ripple, and an error appears
on the Q output.
The model sample time is parameterized by the Ts variable set
to a default value of 50e-6 s. Set Ts to 0 in the command window and
change the Simulation type parameter of the Powergui
block to Continuous
to simulate the model
in continuous mode.
