Default what happens to reflected energy ?

That's simply false. Using Fourier analysis, I reduce anything other
than a sinusoid to multiple sinusoidal RF excitations, perform the
sinusoidal analysis, and then use superposition to find the answer. I
also reject any example where Maxwell's equations do not work. Your
insistance that magical waves can somehow exist during DC steady-state
violates the known laws of physics. EM waves CANNOT exist during DC
steady-state because electrons are traveling at a constant velocity.
You can measure DC voltage with an AC voltmeter but that doesn't
change DC voltage to AC voltage.
