Analysis of balanced, unbalanced, sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal three-phase systems through a Python developed tool
Abstract
This paper proposes a Python tool for the analysis of balanced, unbalanced, sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal three-phase systems based on the IEEE Std. 1459. The proposed tool was developed to be used by electrical engineers and professionals of related careers providing a free access for electrical power calculations that allows validation and power analysis in power systems. The proposed tool is available for use on a GitHub link and only requires voltage and current signals as inputs, making it possible to dispense expensive commercial network analyzers. The tool is made of two interfaces, one for making power calculations of sinusoidal three-phase systems and the other one for making calculations of nonsinusoidal three-phase systems; both interfaces can be accessed through a main menu. The proposed tool facilitates decision-making in electrical system issues, which helps improving the efficiency and power quality of electrical systems.
