Abstract |
|
Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than unity. Power factor correction maybe applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the stability and efficiency of the transmission network or correction may be installed by individual electrical customers to reduce the costs charged to them by their electricity supplier. This paper deals with the implementation of automatic power factor correction (APFC) system using solid state switched capacitors and microcontroller. The main objectives are to reduce the line loss, to reduce reactive power flows on the line and to avoid switching surge overvoltage due to switching on/off the capacitors. |
