AC power
• Power is still the product of voltage and current:
• We are now interested in the case in which the
voltage and current are sinusoids:
v(t) and i(t) are related
• Keep in mind that power is delivered to a load
• The amplitude and phase of the voltage and current
are not independent
– They are related through the load impedance
V  I Z  V  I  Z and V   I  Z
Instantaneous AC power
• Our previous (time domain) definition of power is
called the instantaneous power
• In terms of our sinusoidal voltage & current:
• After some trigonometry and algebra:
– The power consists of a DC (constant) part and an AC
(sinusoidal part)
Graphical representation of p(t)
Alternate representation for p(t)
• Which can be decomposed into two plots:
– Average (real) power and reactive power
Average Power
• We are generally more interested in the average
power delivered to a load:
• Average power is:
– This is also called the real power (it’s the power that’s
provided to the resistive part of the load over time)
– Units are watts
RMS values
• We want to assess the power delivered by different
types of time-varying signals
– The power delivered to a resistive load:
• Find a DC (constant) value which delivers the same
average power as the time-varying signal
– Called the effective or RMS value of the signal
– Used to “compare” different time-varying signals
• Note: we want our average power to look like
an “average” current squared times resistance
or an “average” voltage squared divided by
resistance
– We want to define these “effective” values
• Note why it’s called “RMS”
RMS values – continued
• Average power:
• Effective DC value:
• Equating to time-average value:

,
• Annotate previous slide to show VRMS, IRMS
notation (RMS = “effective”)
Definition of RMS values
• The effective (or RMS) value of a signal is equal to
the DC value which provides the same average
power to a resistor
• For sinusoidal signal with no DC offset:
,
• Average power in terms of RMS values:
Apparent power and power factor
• Power in terms of RMS values:
• The average (real) power is the product of apparent
power and the power factor
– Apparent power:
– Power factor (pf):
(units = volt-amps = VA)
(unitless)
• Power factor is leading or lagging, to denote whether current
leads or lags voltage
Interpretation of apparent power and pf
• Power factor is a property
of the load
– For a complex load, the
power delivered to the load
is not exactly the power
supplied by the generator
– If ZL is real  pf = 1
– If ZL is imaginary  pf = 0,
and no average power is
delivered to the load
• On previous slide, mention reactive power
again.
Complex Power
• Complex power is a way to conveniently expressing
the various power parameters and their relationships

or:
S  Veff I eff v   i 
• Annotate previous slide to show real (average)
power and reactive power
Power relationships
• Complex power:
– Magnitude of S is the apparent power (units = VA)
– The real part of S is the average power (units = watts)
– The imaginary part of S is the reactive power (units = VAR)
