چکیده

This paper deals with the implementation of automatic power factor correction system using solid state switched capacitors and Arduino UNO controller. 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. This paper describes the design and simulation of power factor correction using Arduino UNO controller. The power factor from the load is measured by using zero crossing circuit and phase shift detector, and then calculated the power factor according to the program and LCD will be used for display. This paper provides implementation done on Arduino UNO microcontroller using C language software to program the microcontroller, Arduino program to determine time lag between current and voltage and Proteus 7.7 to simulate the power factor according to the load. This system senses the power factor and with the help of microcontroller switches, required number of capacitors in the capacitor bank. In this system, the reactive power will be generated by the bank of static capacitors. Design and simulation will be done by using the LM 358, MOC 3052, BTA 41, ICs, Arduino UNO Microcontroller and LCD display in this system.

Transient Minimization Within Static Var Compensated Distribution Systems

VAR support should be supplied as close to the load as possible to minimize transmission losses. For voltage control and for improvement of total power factor in a distribution system the circuit- breaker switched capacitor banks can be used. The problems with this solution are the voltage steps caused by the large sizes of the capacitor banks as well as the transients caused on insertion. Thyr...

A Modified Series Z-Source Inverter Based on Switched Inductors with High Voltage Gain and Reduced Voltage Stress on Capacitors

In this paper, a series Z-source inverter based on switched inductors cell is proposed for the first time. This inverter is able to increase the voltage gain in comparison to the conventional Z–source inverters in additon to solve the ST (shoot-through) state’s problems. In this inverter, the value of voltage gain is increased by increasing the number of used diodes and inductors in the switche...

An Architecture for a Reconfigurable Charge- Summation Based Adc

Presented in this paper is a low power, area efficient reconfigurable analog-to-digital (ADC) converter, utilising a charge-summation technique with a switched-capacitor implementation. Using a non-inverting switched-capacitor integrator a staircase ramp is produced using switching capacitors and a fixed reference voltage, as opposed to a linear ramp. The advantage of the charge summation techn...

Design and Implementation of Microcontroller-Based Controlling of Power Factor Using Capacitor Banks with Load Monitoring

Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than one. Power factor correction may be 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...
