Power Added Efficiency Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Power Added Efficiency.
PAE = (Po-Pin) / Pdc *100
- Where PAE is the Power Added Efficiency (%)
- Po is the power output
- Pin is the power input
- Pdc is the DC power
How to Calculate Power Added Efficiency?
The following example problems outline how to calculate the Power Added Efficiency.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the power output. In this example, the power output is given as 40 .
- Next, determine the power input. For this problem, the power input is given as 30 .
- Next, determine the DC power. In this case, the DC power is found to be 20.
- Finally, calculate the Power Added Efficiency using the formula above:
PAE = (Po-Pin) / Pdc *100
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
PAE = (40-30) / 20 *100 = 50 (%)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are provided as:
power output = 50
power input = 15
DC power = 100
Enter these given values yields:
PAE = (50-15) /100 *100 =35 (%)
