On the Fitting of Three-Phase Voltage Curves with Ellipses Using Geometric Algebra for Conics

This work introduces a novel approach in power quality analysis by fitting three-phase voltage curves with ellipses using Geometric Algebra for Conics (GAC). Recognizing the limitations of current linear algebra-based methods, this paper highlights the need for further exploration into more effective techniques. Geometric Algebra offers a potent, efficient, and intuitive alternative for addressing power quality phenomena, such as sags, swells, and interruptions. By establishing a robust mathematical foundation with GAC and analysing the characteristics of the resulting ellipse, we propose new metrics for understanding power quality issues. This foundational paper lays the groundwork for future, more realistic studies, inviting the engineering community to explore the benefits of GA in advancing power quality analysis. Through this initial exploration, we aim to spark further research and development in this promising field. Key words.
