The mean generalized content: a conservative quantity in periodically‐forced non‐linear networks

Non-linear networks working in periodical non- sinusoidal steady state are investigated. By means of a new balanced quantity, theorems and conditions are achieved about some aspects in the harmonic generation and in the power conversion at different frequencies. An extension of the concept of reactive power emerges too. A numerical example is discussed in details and relevant results are reported
