Power Factor Correction: Its Importance and Improvements

Now a day's many three phase and single-phase consumers like industries, commercial loads, and domestic loads have non-linear loads such as motors, lighting, ventilation heating etc… which are generally inductive loads. Here we are mainly focused about inductive loads which effects the power factor which intern effects the power quality and causes driving of excess currents by the loads which causes power imbalance results in reducing power system efficiency and also results in increasing electricity bill charges. The paper focuses on existing and improved methods which can be implemented for the powerfactor correction in order to increase the power system stability.
