Adaptation of power transport theory current physical components to electric network diagnostics

Current Physical Components theory (CPCT) was developed at 1983. A major review on the theory was performed at 1995. It was used primarily for the design of active filters - the implementation which provided financial justification at the time. The theory decomposes the current and power, at least for Linear Time Invariant systems with Harmonic Generating Loads, into five physically meaningful components. The effect of decomposition into so many components is limited at active filtering, as only active and reactive energy components should be computed, and the reactive compensated. This research group investigated whether it is beneficial at diagnostics. This paper describes the adaptation work required in order to use CPCT efficiently at diagnostics. This paper describes the concept and the adaptations required while using the theory to diagnostics.
