Application of Thevenin’s Theorem
Thevenin's Theorem is specially useful in analyzing power systems and other circuits where one particular segment in the circuit (the load) is subject to change.
Source Impedance at a Power System Bus
The source impedance value (or the network impedance at the power system bus) can be obtained from the utility for all the sub-stations of a power grid. This is the Thevenin Impedance seen upstream from the sub-station bus. The Thevenin Voltage can be measured at the bus (usually the nominal or rated voltage at the bus).
Thevenin equivalent at the sub-station is important to determine cable, switchgear and equipment ratings, fault levels, and load characteristics at different times.

If a linear circuit has 2 or more sources acting jointly, we can consider each source acting separately (independently) and then superimpose the 2 or more resulting effects.
Superposition Theorem
Steps:
•Analyze the circuit considering each source separately
•To remove sources, short circuit V sources and open circuit I sources
•For each source, calculate the voltages and currents in the circuit
•Sum the voltages and currents
Superposition Theorem is very useful when analyzing a circuit that has 2 or more sources with different frequencies.

Non-sinusoidal Periodic Waveforms
A non-sinusoidal periodic waveform, f(t) can be expressed as a sum of sinusoidal waveforms. This is known as a Fourier series.
Fourier series is expressed as:

Linear AC Circuits with Non-Sinusoidal Waveforms
A linear circuit with non-sinusoidal periodic sources can be analyzed using the Superposition Theorem.
Express the non-sinusoidal function by its Fourier series.
That is, the periodic source will be represented as multiple sinusoidal sources of different frequencies.
Use Superposition Theorem to calculate voltages and currents for each element in the series.
Calculate the final voltages and currents by summing up all the harmonics.

Power Factor Correction
Most loads are inductive in nature, and therefore, have lagging p.f. (i.e. current lagging behind voltage)
Typical p.f. values: induction motor (0.7 – 0.9), welders (0.35 – 0.8), fluorescent lights (magnetic ballast 0.7 – 0.8, electronic 0.9 - 0.95), etc.
Capacitance can be added to make the current more leading.
2010-2011 EE 212 21
Power Factor Correction(continued)
• P.F. Correction usually involves adding capacitor (in parallel) to the load circuit, to maximize the p.f. and bring it close to 1.
• The load draws less current from the source, when p.f. is corrected.• Benefits:• -
• Therefore, p.f. is a measure of how efficiently the power supply is being utilized
