Abstract

The most common way to evaluate the flow of electricity in a wire is via a load flow analysis, however; there is another way to view this behavior utilizing the Quantum Movement Theory proposed and discussed herein. This theory evaluates the movement of the charge carrier, the electron, within a conductor to register a specific amount of current in an alternating current system. Historically, the understanding of electricity flow on the electric grid has been based upon the previously popular direct current system of the 1880’s. This research evaluates how electrons as both a particle and a wave move through conductors on the interconnected grid. Two mathematical applications comprising the; 1) volume of electrons moving in a conductor, and 2) the distance traveled by electrons in a conductor, are developed and explained within this article. The application of the equations and understandings contained herein can be applied to quantum mechanics within conductors on the modern electric grid comprised of alternating current equipment, as well as policy regulating such resources.
