Abstract
They have several useful mathematical properties that greatly facilitate the modelling of frequency-dependent sinusoidal sources such as electrical power systems. Like the use of integers or real numbers, complex numbers are used to enable solving complex equations of numbers that are the square roots of negative numbers and to simplify mathematical problems.
Aim
