Abstract
For the purpose of defining and understanding the power phenomena in electrical circuits, two theories have been highlighted in the literature, the Current’s Physical Components (CPC) and the Conservative Power Theory (CPT). Therefore, this paper investigates the main similarities and discrepancies between CPC and CPT through computational simulations of single-phase electrical circuits under sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal voltage conditions. Although the two methods are based on different concepts and domains, the results obtained are very similar. Moreover, this paper tries to explain the causes of similarities based on the decomposition’s foundations and the resulting currents values.
