Smart Meter for Power Factor Enhancement in Real Time

Project Code :TEMBMA3135

Objective

The main objective of this project is to design to minimize penalty for industrial units by using automatic power factor correction unit.

Abstract

The project is designed to minimize penalty for industrial units by using automatic power factor correction unit. Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power to apparent power. This definition is often mathematically represented as KW/KVA, where the numerator is the active (real) power and the denominator is the (active + reactive) or apparent power. Reactive power is the non-working power generated by the magnetic and inductive loads, to generate magnetic flux. The increase in reactive power increases the apparent power, so the power factor also decreases. Having low power factor, the industry needs more energy to meet its demand, so the efficiency decreases.
