Theory:
In AC circuits, energy storage elements such as inductors and capacitors may result in
periodic reversals of the direction of energy flow. The power averaged over the complete
cycle of the AC waveform results in the net transfer of energy in one direction, known as real
power; this is also called active power and true power. Power due to the rate of change of
stored energy is known as reactive power.

The output ac power is


PApparent = VRms ∗ IRms

Where Vrms & Irms are the root-mean-square value of the output voltage and current,
respectively

Active Power is,


T
PActive = 1/T ∫0 Pdt = VICos∅

Where P=Instantaneous Power


Hence, P_active is the average of instantaneous power.

Reactive power is
PReactive = √PApparent − PActive

The power Factor is the ratio of real power to apparent power in the circuit. It is the practical
measure of the efficiency of the power distribution system.
