Power Module

Characteristics

This module contains functions for calculating electrical power metrics from measured voltage and current data. It supports both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) calculations, including instantaneous frequency analysis for AC signals and power calculations for three-phase AC systems. The calculations can accommodate both line-to-neutral and line-to-line voltage measurements and offer flexibility in output formats, allowing results to be saved as either pandas DataFrames or xarray Datasets.

Functions:

instantaneous_frequency: Calculates the instantaneous frequency of a measured voltage signal over time.

dc_power: Computes the DC power from voltage and current measurements, providing both individual channel outputs and a gross power calculation.

ac_power_three_phase: Calculates the magnitude of active AC power for three-phase systems, considering the power factor and voltage measurement configuration (line-to-neutral or line-to-line).

`instantaneous_frequency`	Calculates instantaneous frequency of measured voltage
`dc_power`	Calculates DC power from voltage and current
`ac_power_three_phase`	Calculates magnitude of active AC power from line to neutral voltage and current

Quality

This module contains functions for calculating various aspects of power quality, particularly focusing on the analysis of harmonics, interharmonics and distortion in electrical power systems. These functions are designed to assist in power quality assessments by providing tools to analyze voltage and current signals for their harmonic and interharmonic components based on the guidelines and methodologies outlined in IEC 61000-4-7:2008 ED2 and in IEC 62600-30:2018 ED1.

Functions in this module include:

harmonics: Calculates the harmonics from time series of voltage or current. This function returns the amplitude of the time-series data harmonics indexed by the harmonic frequency, aiding in the identification of harmonic distortions within the power system.
harmonic_subgroups: Computes the harmonic subgroups as per IEC 61000-4-7 standards. Harmonic subgroups provide insights into the distribution of power across different harmonic frequencies, which is crucial for understanding the behavior of non-linear loads and their impact on the power quality.
total_harmonic_current_distortion (THCD): Determines the total harmonic current distortion, offering a summary metric that quantifies the overall level of harmonic distortion present in the current waveform. This metric is essential for assessing compliance with power quality standards and guidelines.
interharmonics: Identifies and calculates the interharmonics present in the power system. Interharmonics, which are frequencies that occur between the fundamental and harmonic frequencies, can arise from various sources and potentially lead to power quality issues.
