A Seminar report on Power Factor Correction by Pulse Width Modulated switched single capacitor -

Role of reactive power in power system:

4/8/12

Voltage drop in a network depends on reactive power flowing. reactive power will result in less steady state voltage available. available power and efficiency of motors are affected.

High

Hence

4/8/12

Need to control reactive power flow:

Large Poor

reactive power demand leads to poor power factor. power factor will attract penalty from authorities. it becomes necessary to control reactive power flow . system is required to control reactive power in a network.

Hence

Compensation

4/8/12

Compensation system
It

supplies reactive power when required and absorbs it when it is in excess. it helps in minimizing transmission loss and maintaining stable voltage.

Hence

4/8/12

Types of compensation systems:

FIXED

COMPENSATION-: used when reactive power is not varying very much under load conditions. capacitor and series reactor are used in this technique.

Fixed

DYNAMIC

COMPENSATION-: used when reactive power varies with load cycle. compensation if used will lead to over or under compensation. is of two types(1)Direct method-TSC (2) Indirect method-TCR+FC

Pulse width modulation(PWM):

a

method of regulating the output voltage of a switching power supply by varying the width, but not the height, of a train of pulses that drives a power switch.
