A valuable study tool for students and a solid reference for professionals, Instantaneous Power Theory and Applications to Power Conditioning presents a review of power theories and shows that the instantaneous power theory gives important basic knowledge for the understanding and designing of shunt, series, combined shunt-series power active filters as well as hybrid passive-active power filters. Written by a team of experts in the field, this second edition is fully updated with state-of-the-art technology and exercises at the end of many chapters.

Considering the application of multi-functional grid-tied inverters in modern microgrids, this paper proposes a novel control strategy derived from the Conservative Power Theory (CPT), which makes possible the compensation of instantaneous power oscillations. Such approach is based on the instantaneous power and instantaneous reactive energy terms defined by the CPT, allowing the extraction of oscillating power components directly in the abc frame. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the control strategy considering the scenario of a weak microgrid with linear, non-linear, and unbalanced loads, as well as comprising a three-phase multi-functional grid-tied inverter with LCL filter. The results show that active power dispatchability can be offered by the inverter, while concomitantly supporting the microgrid to operate at constant instantaneous power. Experimental results comprising a 3.6 kVA inverter prototype also validate the proposed decomposition of oscillating power terms, showing that they can be satisfactorily employed on compensation purposes.

The generalised machine theory is the subject of modeling the electric machines and drives as well as the power system. It needs understanding of e.g. electrical machines in space phasor models, axes transformations and dynamic modeling. The theory given on this course will be applied on the machines, drives and power electronics converter modelling and control. Instantaneous active and reactive power theories are taught and their applications are introduced.
