Clarke's Alpha, Beta, and Zero Components: A Possible Approach for the Conceptual Design of Instrumentation Compatible With IEEE Std. 1459–2000

This paper explains the conceptual design of instrumentation that measures electric quantities defined in the Std. 1459-2000. It is shown how the instantaneous-space-phasor approach, based on alpha, beta, 0 components, can be used to monitor electric energy flow, evaluate the utilization of transmission line, and quantify the level of harmonic pollution injected by nonlinear loads
