Comparative Analysis between IEEE 1459 and Conservative Power Theory Through the Development of Power Meters

Abstract

With the undoubted growth of power electronic devices, ie, non-linear loads, there was a need for a deeper study in the power calculation, taking into account the harmonic distortions caused by these loads. Therefore, the present work aims to present, based on a test electrical system, a comparative analysis between two power theories with great discussion at present, the first one being the IEEE 1459 standard and the second the Conservative Power Theory.
