POWER FACTOR CORRECTION:

 
Power Factor is the ratio between KW and KVA.

**Different type of method are here to power factor correction.

It's depend upon  the size and the rate of change of load in an industries.

Like that,
  • Direct compensation
  • Group compensation
  • Centralized compensation(apfc)
Lower Power Factor means higher reactive current at the same output power and it is required large size of electrical infrastructure.

If you improve your power factor you can achieved smaller electrical infrastructure at the same output.

Now a days many electricity companies charge the penalties for lower power factor(<0.9).

POWER FACTOR improvement is done by installing capacitors(in kvar) near the loads.  

You want to calculate the capacitor kvar value for installing as per loads.
