electricpy.instpower

electricpy.instpower(P, Q, t, freq=60)

Instantaneous Power Function.

This function is designed to calculate the instantaneous power at a specified time t given the magnitudes of P and Q.

\[P_{inst} = P+P*cos(2*\omega*t)-Q*sin(2*\omega*t)\]

Parameters:

• P (float) – Magnitude of Real Power

• Q (float) – Magnitude of Reactive Power

• t (float) – Time at which to evaluate

• freq (float, optional) – System frequency (in Hz), default=60

Returns:

float

Return type:

Instantaneous Power at time t.
