Introduction The reactive power directly influences the power factor and, as a result, overloads the connecting cables between the electrical energy sources and energy user devices and plays a vital role in the stable operation of power systems (Fairney 1994). The extension of the wavelet transform to the measurement of power components (reactive power and active power) through the use of a broad-band quadrature phase-shift networks is demonstrated in (Yoon & Devaney 2000). The proposed wavelet-based power metering system requires the phase shift of the input voltage signal. According to Purkayastha & Savoie (1990) the amplitude-pulse modulation together with phase shift operation is used to measure reactive power in the frequency range of from 50 to 70 Hz. An electronic shifter based on stochastic signal processing for simple and cost-effective digital implementation of a reactive power and energy meter has been proposed by Djokic et al. (2000). Toral et al. (2001), suggest a computer algorithm for calculating reactive (quadrature) power. In scientific papers the averaging of the value of the product of the current samples and the voltage samples with shifting to the quarter one of the samples (current or

voltage) relatively to another is used. The Fourier transformation including fast Fourier transformation based digital or analogue filtering algorithms, used to measure reactive power, involves quite complex computations. In single-phase circuits an instant electric power (EP) can be evaluated by using different methods depending on load type. In a simple case, when a source voltage, u(t), and a current flowing through load, i(t), are the pure sinusoidal signals, the instant EP is defined by Abijev (2006).
p (t ) = P [P cos 2 t + Q sin 2 t ]
(1)
For applying a discrete WF for measuring EP components the instant power, p(t ) , is written in the discrete form as
(2)
Where t is the time interval between neighbourhood samples, t =T/N, N is the number of samples within observation period of T, n=0, 2, ...N-1. Considering these equalities, final expression for power is written as
4 4 P(n ) = P P cos n + Q sin n N N
(3)
Thus we have suitable expressions (Eq. 2 and Eq. 3) allowing for simultaneous measuring of active and reactive components of the EP by use of WF. Analogue Measurement Approach This approach is based on analogue signal processing theory and implies the integral of the product of instant power, p (t ) , and corresponding order of analogue WF:
S ( m) =
1 nT
nT
(4)
18
where m is an order of WF, n is the required integer number of averaging periods T. The higher the n the lower the random error influence to the measurement results. When m=0, considering Eq. 2 we get from Eq. 4:
S ( 0) =
1 nT
nT
(5)
Since zero-order WF, Wal (0, t ) has only +1 value in the normalized period of T[7], Eq.(5) results in average(active) power, P:
S ( 0) =
1 nT
nT
Pdt = P
0
(6)
S (3) =
nT
(7)
Third-order WF, Wal (3, t ) is an odd function with normalized cycling period of T/2 and is orthogonal with the P cos 2 t term as it should be (figure 1). So
1 nT
nT
1 nT
nT
1 nT
nT
(8)
As can be seen from figure 1, the product of Q sin 2 t Wal (3, t )}dt results in rectification of the reactive component of the entire instant power signal, p(t ) . As a result integral of Eq.(8) gives the average value of the reactive power, Q .

Digital Measurement Approach For digital measuring of the active and reactive power components we use discrete expression of the WF (Abiyev & Aliyev2003, Abijev 2006).
m m k m k +1 k k =1
Wal (i, k ) = ( 1)
(9)
where i is order of WF in the WF system, i=0,1,2,,N-1, k is argument of WF and defines the bit(digit) coefficients of k represented in binary code, = (1 , 2 ... k )2 , k = 0,1 , m is the bit(digit) coefficients of m represented in binary code, = ( 0 , 1 , 2 ... m )2 , m = 0,1 , m is a in binary representation of highest-order WF serial number in the WF system. For example, if number of samples, N=64 the dimension of WF system would also be 64. So from N = 2 m we get m = 6. 20
Now we can write general expression for digitally measuring of the EP by use of equalities of Trautman (1975) and Abiyev (2006):
S (i ) =
1 P (n)(1) k =1 N n =0
N 1
( m k +1 m k ) k
(10)
For measuring the reactive component of the EP we use the third- order WF, Wal (3, k ) . For the third-order Walsh function = 3 therefore only 6 = 1 and 5 = 1 . The remaining bit coefficients of m , m = 1,2,3,4 are equal to the zero: 3 = (0000011)2 . In this case the third-order WF is
(11)
Figure 2.
Figure 3 depicts the k and third-order discrete WF, W (3, 2 ) = (1) 2 . So for the third-order component of the EP from Eq.(10) and Eq.(13) we obtain the equality
S (3) =
1 N
P(n)(1)
n =0
N 1
(12)
P P cos N
n=0
N 1
4 n + Q sin n (1) 2 N
(13)
n =0
N 1
1 N
P cos N
n =0
N 1
n (1) 2 = 0

(14)
The analysis of intervals indicated in the figure 3 shows that since the function of sin (4n / N ) has negative values at the intervals of [N/4, N/2-1] and [3N/4, N-1], then the Eq. (14) results in:
S (3) = 1 N n Q sin N
n=0 N 1
(15)
4 This expression defines the average value of the signal of Q sin n and is N proportional to the average reactive value of the EP in the investigated circuit. During experimental studying the input voltage, u (t ) , and the current, i (t ) , signals were taken as

- during the processing of the signals on the base of Walsh functions the timeshifting of the signals acts on the structure of the signals. This influence becomes 24
useful during the evaluation of the power components allowing the obtaining of extra knowledge concerning the phase-shifts on the harmonics of the input signals; - during digital signal processing the sample values of the signals multiplication by Walsh functions is replaced by summing of the samples with the corresponding +1or -1 signs.
