Abstract

The paper shows that the physical interpretation of the Instantaneous reactive power q presented by E.H. Watanabe, H. Akagi and M Aredes in the paper "Instantaneous p-q Theory for Compensating Nonsinusoidal Systems", published in Przeglqd Elektrotechniczny, R. 84, Nr. 6/2008, is erroneous. Alleged "exchange" energy between phases of supply lines of a three-phase system is not possible. Also It Is not possible for energy to rotate around such a line. The paper shows as well that the Instantaneous p-q Theory, in the presence of the supply voltage harmonics or asymmetry, does not provide fundamentals for switching compensator control.
