In electrical power systems, symmetrical components are used to
analyze and understand the behavior of three-phase systems under
unbalanced conditions. Symmetrical components provide a way
to break down the unbalanced system into three balanced systems,
.each with its own magnitude and phase angle
Power in terms of symmetrical components can be expressed
using the positive, negative, and zero sequence components. The
positive sequence represents the balanced component of power,
while the negative sequence represents the unbalanced component
rotating in the opposite direction, and the zero sequence
.represents the unbalanced component that does not rotate
The total power in a three-phase system can be expressed as
:the sum of these three components
Total Power = Positive Sequence Power + Negative
Sequence Power + Zero Sequence Power
The positive sequence power is typically referred to as real
power or active power since it contributes to actual work
:done in a system. It is given by
Positive Sequence Power = 3 * Vp * Ip * cos(θp)
where Vp is the positive sequence voltage magnitude, Ip is
the positive sequence current magnitude, and θp is the phase
.angle between them
The negative sequence power represents
reactive power or imaginary power since it does
not contribute to actual work but affects system
:stability. It is given by
Negative Sequence Power = 3 * Vn *In *
sin(θn)
where Vn is the negative sequence voltage
magnitude, In is the negative sequence current
magnitude, and θn is the phase angle between
.them
The zero sequence power represents unbalanced currents
flowing through neutral conductors or ground paths. It does
not contribute to actual work but can cause issues such as
:overheating or equipment damage. It is given by
Zero Sequence Power = 3 * V0 * I0
where V0 is the zero sequence voltage magnitude and I0 is
.the zero sequence current magnitude
By analyzing these symmetrical components of power,
engineers can identify and address issues related to
.unbalanced conditions in power systems

: phase circuit through three lines a, b, and c is
