Why is it necessary for a periodic signal to be a power signal for its fourier series expansion to exist?

If a signal is periodic, has an "infinite energy", but a finite average power, then it is a "power signal".

Periodic signals that do not have finite average power do not meet the Dirichlet conditions for the existence of the series expansion.
