1- Calculation for reactive power to correct power factor to 0.95.

Reactive Power = P  [tan (cos-1 (PF1)) – tan (cos-1 (PF2))]

P: Active Power (watts), PF1: Initial Power Factor (0.92), PF2: Target Power Factor (0.95)

To calculate the angle of initial power factor:

cos-1(PF1) = cos-1(0.92) = 23.07

To calculate the angle of target power factor:

cos-1(PF2) = cos-1(0.95) = 18.19
To calculate the Reactive Power:
Qinitial = 400  tan (23.07)  170.73 kVAR
Q(0.95) = 400  tan (18.19)  131.44 kVAR
Reactive Power (Qnew1) = 514.8 – 131.44 = 38.93 kVAR

So, reactive power to correct power factor to 0.95 is 38.93 kVAR

 2- Calculate for the capacitance value to make PF up to 0.98.

C = 𝟐𝛑𝐅 𝟐 𝐕𝟐
C: Capacitance (μF), P: Active Power (W), PF2: Target Power Factor, F: Frequency (Hz), V: Line Voltage (V)

In this case we have, P = 400 kW, PF2 = 0.98, F = 50 Hz and V = 6600 V.

To calculate the angle of target power factor:

cos-1 (PF2) = cos-1 (0.98) = 11.47

To calculate the capacitance:

Q0.98 = 400 tan (11.47) = 81.162 kVAR
Q2 = Qinitial – Q0.98 = 170.37 – 81.62 = 88.75 kVAR
𝟖𝟖.𝟕𝟓  𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎
C=  6.485 μF
𝟐  𝝅  𝟓𝟎  𝟔𝟔𝟎𝟎𝟐

So, capacitance required to improve the power factor from 0.73 to 0.98 is
6.485 μF

3- Measure for feed cables the resistance and the voltage drop.
𝛒𝐋
R= ΔV = I  R

R: Cable Resistance (Ω), ρ: Copper Resistivity (1.724 x 10-8 Ω.m), L: Cable Length (m)
A: Cable Cross-Sectional Area (m2), ΔV: Voltage Drop (V), I: Load Current (A)

Given, from data sheet of the Motor, Cable Length is 385 m and cross-sectional area
is 2.85  10-4 m2, ρ = 1.72 x 10-8 Ω.m and I = 39.9 A

To calculate the cable resistance:

𝛒  𝐋 𝟏.𝟕𝟐 𝐱 𝟏𝟎−𝟖  𝟑𝟖𝟓
R= =  0.023 Ω
𝐀 𝟐.𝟖𝟓  𝟏𝟎−𝟒

To calculate voltage drop across the cable:

ΔV = I  R = 39.9  0.023  0.9177 V

So, the cable resistance is 0.023 Ω and the voltage drop across the cable is
0.9177 V
 4- Calculate for power saving due to reduce in current (I2 R)

Power Saving = (I 2 – I0.982)  R

I: Initial Current (A), I0.98: Final Current (A) and R: Load Resistance (Ω)

To calculate the Final Current:

𝐏
I0.98 =
√𝟑 𝐕  𝐏𝐅
𝟒𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎
=
√𝟑  𝟔𝟔𝟎𝟎  𝟎.𝟗𝟖
 35.7 A
In this case, Iinitial = 39.9 A (initial load current), I0.98 = 35.7 A (load current after
power factor correction), and R = 0.023 Ω (resistance of the feed cable).
To calculate the power saving:
Power Saving = (39.92 – 35.72)  0.023
 7.3 kW

So, the power saving due to reduce in current is 7.3 kW

5- Calculate energy saving for one year, considering working hours 8000 annually.

Energy Savings (kWh) = Power Savings (kW) x Annual Operating Hours

We have annual operating hours = 8000 hours per year,
To calculate the energy savings:
Annual Energy Savings = 7.3 kW x 8000 hours = 58357 kWh

So, the energy saving for one year is 58357 kWh

 6- Calculate the new voltage drop.

Voltage Drop = I0.98  R

I0.98: Current at PF 0.98 = 35.7 A, R: Cable Resistance per unit length = 0.023 Ω

To calculate the voltage drop:

Voltage Drop = 35.7  0.023
= 0.8211 V

So, new voltage drop after power factor correction is 0.8211 V

7- Voltage regulation {Vmain – Vload) / Vload} 100

P = √𝟑 V  I  PF
P: Power (W), V: Voltage (V), I: Current (A), PF: Power Factor

We have power of 400 kW, current of 39.9 A, and Power Factor of 0.98,

To calculate Voltage:
400000 = √𝟑  V  39.9  0.98
Vload ≈ 5906 V
To calculate the voltage regulation;
𝐕𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 − 𝐕𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝
Voltage Regulation =  100
𝐕𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝

Vmain: Source Voltage (V) & Vload: Load Voltage (V)

𝟔𝟔𝟎𝟎 − 𝟓𝟗𝟎𝟔
Voltage Regulation =  100
𝟓𝟗𝟎𝟔

= 11.75 %

So, voltage regulation (percentage of drop in voltage from the source to the
load) is 11.75 %
