For a long time, non-sinusoidal, non-linear electric circuit analysis has been a prevalent topic. The supplementary analysis tool and domain are subjects of debate in many scientific groups, leading to a range of norms and definitions. Since its beginnings, the electric power system has advanced thanks to the development of Power Electronic devices, converters, and Renewable Energy sources. Electronic equipment has transformed the electrical system and brought industrial applications a plethora of benefits. Unfortunately, this results in distortions in the power system (voltage and current). For this, it is necessary to comprehend power flow in nonsinusoidal linear and non-linear circuit situations. Therefore, it is always necessary to use a distinct mathematical framework to examine the circuit in such a setting. Finally, an agreement on norms that adhere to well-known, established standards can be obtained under non-sinusoidal circumstances. To show the precision of geometric algebra in power flow calculations, the work presented here combines the usage of the harmonic domain and geometric algebra in circuits with disturbances for sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal excitation.

The geometric product represents a core concept for establishing geometric algebras and in case of vectors matches the formal sum of their inner product and their wedge product. The geometric product is reconsidered for the case of 3-vectors by means of usual matrix algebra in this article. Therefore, a symmetric matrix product and an antisymmetric matrix product are introduced, whose matrix sum yields a third product that renders the information of a vector pair's geometric product in terms of a matrix associated to the vectors. The three matrices - that correspond to inner product, wedge product, and geometric product, respectively - are named wheel product, curl product, and full product. The observation about the structural correspondence of the geometric product with matrix theory may be used for future practical computations and unveils connections of geometric algebra with related disciplines.
