This paper presents and analyzes a new simple instant-estimation method for time-average quantities such as rms-values of voltage and current, active and reactive powers, and power factor for single-phase power with the fundamental component of constant or nearly-constant frequency by measuring instantaneous values of voltage and current. According to the analyses, the method can instantly estimate time average values with accuracy of the fundamental frequency, and estimation accuracy of power factor is about two times better than that of voltage, current, and powers. The instant-estimation method is simple and can be easily applied to single-phase power control systems that are expected to control instantly and continuously power factor on a single-phase grid by inverter. Based on the proposed instant-estimation method, two-methods for such power control systems are also proposed and their usefulness is verified through simulations.
