Abstract :
Power factor improvement for nonlinear loads is the point of interest for researchers in recent scenario. Power factor plays a major role in efficiency of electrical system. The Purpose of this paper is to power factor improvement by using proper control strategy. Simulation on MATLAB/ Simulink environment is conducted with resistive inductive load. The low power factor is highly undesirable as it causes an increase in current, resulting in additional losses of active power in all the elements of power system from power system down to the utilization devices. To compensate reactive power and improve the power factor by using a static VAR compensator, it consisting converter (2-level SCR) with capacitor bank. This work deals with the performance evaluation through analytical studies and practical implementation on an existing system consisting of a distribution transformer of 1phase, 50Hz, 230V/12V capacity.
