Abstract

In electrical installations with a low power factor, significant cost savings can be made through the application of power factor corrections (PFC). These savings are achieved largely due to the way electrical utilities bill their customers. Improvement of power factor can be reduce power costs, release electrical capacity of the distribution system, raise the voltage level and reduce system losses. Using delta connection capacitor banks for PFC is a very well established approach. More than 70 percent induction motors are the most widely used motors in industrial and commercial applications. When sizing and locating capacitors for PFC, many designers tend to base their calculations on maximizing the revenue from such installation and maximizing the energy savings. This project focuses on those phenomena "other side of PFC" that can cause significant damage and disruption to a given power system. The scope of the project includes an outline on some available mathematical tools to analyze these phenomena and apply them on a study of an industrial power system. The result will be obtained from the simulation software before installation of the PFC capacitor.
