Automatic Power Factor Compensation for Industrial Use to Minimize Penalty

Power generation efficiency is critical now, as power waste is a global issue. Power factor is a measurement of a system's power efficiency and a key factor in increasing supply quality. A weak power factor caused by the increased use of inductive loads is generally disregarded in most power systems. A power factor correction unit would allow the system to restore its power factor to near unity, which would allow for more cost-effective operation. Reduced power system losses, increased load carrying capacity, enhanced voltages, and more are all benefits of power factor correction. The goal of this project is to create an Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Unit that can monitor a system's energy usage and automatically optimize its power factor.
