Abstract
This tutorial paper discusses the drawbacks of the definitions of various types of powers found in the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronics Terms (IEEE Std. 100-88). With the exceptions of instantaneous power and active power, all remaining kinds of "powers" are nonphysical. The concept of power factor in polyphase circuits is ambiguous. Examples that illustrate the shortcomings of many power definitions are included. The impact of these definitions on current power/energy metering practices are discussed. It is recommended that some definitions be either changed or eliminated from the IEEE Dictionary. >

Practical definitions for powers in systems with nonsinusoidal waveforms and unbalanced loads: a discussion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose definitions for power terms in alternating current systems that are practical and effective when voltage and/or currents are distorted or unbalanced, and also suggest definitions for measurable values that may be used to indicate the level of distortion and unbalance.

Reactive power measurement using the wavelet transform

TL;DR: This paper provides the theoretical basis for the measurement of reactive and distortion powers from the wavelet transforms with the use of broad-band phase-shift networks to create concurrent in-phase currents and quadrature voltages.

Reformulating Three-Phase Power Components Definitions Contained in the IEEE Standard 1459–2000 Using Discrete Wavelet Transform

TL;DR: In this paper, the three-phase power components definitions contained in the IEEE Standard 1459-2000 are reformulated using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and thus redefined in the time-frequency domain.

What is wrong with the Budeanu concept of reactive and distortion power and why it should be abandoned

TL;DR: In this paper, it was concluded that Budeanu's concept has led the power theory of circuits with nonsinusoidal waveforms into a blind alley, and that the distortion power value does not provide any information about waveform distortion.

Powers in nonsinusoidal situations-a review of definitions and physical meaning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors expanded on the physical meaning of the reactive power in nonsinusoidal situations, and showed that the total reactive power Q/sub F/ is composed from four distinctive types of elementary reactive powers.

On the Definition of Reactive Power Under Non-Sinusoidal Conditions

TL;DR: In this article, a new method of defining reactive power under non-sinusoidal conditions is proposed, which consists of sub- dividing the current into components which would have the same waveform as the current in a resistance and either an inductance or a capacitance when the voltage is applied to them, and into a residual component.

On the definition of power factor and apparent power in unbalanced polyphase circuits with sinusoidal voltage and currents

TL;DR: In this article, the apparent power S and the power factor PF in unbalanced polyphase circuits with sinusoidal waveforms are defined and proved to have a definite physical meaning, leading itself to a convenient resolution in positive, negative and zero sequence, nonactive and active power.

Evaluation of reactive power meters in the presence of high harmonic distortion

TL;DR: In this article, four reactive power meters, operating on different principles, were tested under nonsinusoidal conditions and compared with four nonsinoidal reactive powers and the first harmonic reactive power, to verify whether these readings can be interpreted as approximate measures of the different definitions.
