Automatic power factor compensation when load varies at recieving side

Project Title

Automatic power factor compensation when load varies at recieving side

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

power factor which is defined as phase angle between current and voltage.In inductive load current laggs while in capacitive load voltage laggs.to keep power factor unity we mostly use shunt reactors which include capacitors and inductors connected in parallel.these parallely connected shunt reactors can nuetrilize the effect of lagging and leading and give us output getting power factor closer  to unity.this appraoch can reduce our transmittion losses because lagging power factor allow more current to flow through lines and it increases lossess. we can implement automatic power factor compansation circuit at our homes which provide required active power automaticaly to reduce losses and to adjust our power factor of our loads

Project Implementation Method

we require single phase ac voltage source and diffrent types of load,shunt reactors and autamoatic power factor sensing electronic circuit .these reactors will be connected throungh sensong circuit when amont of avtive power is required according to loads these sensong circuit will provide that active power. different bank of capacitor should be available in order to meet demand of our load.as inductive power absorb avtive power and capacitors provide that defecit power.

Benefits of the Project

the major benefit of power is that we can save power in bulk amount .implementing these circuits at our homes we can adjust power factor which reduces losses. and it also ensures the reliable operation of equipments.our whole transmision system and distribution system remains staible,different companies are charged panelties due to lagging power factor. it can be improved by implementing circuit at recieving side 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable
