This paper shows the scope of making an automatic Power Factor controller with the help of Fuzzy Logic. A Single-phase PF circuit is taken for experimental purposes in two sets of capacitor banks. Single-phase supply connected to Induction Motor as load considering for power factor correction. Capacitor along with its circuit connected in parallel to the Induction Motor. Selection of capacitor is done based on multiplier table using K Factor along with initial Cos of the load. Incoming control from MCB and current measurement are done at incoming as well as on capacitor banks individually. Seeking best selection, represent the relation between KVAr and µF. Results show we got desired permutations & combinations of data for making the FLC rule table. By this, we also thought about the industrial application using reactive power during the jerking load and sleep mode of machines.

This paper presents how a capacitive voltage source is connected in series to the rotor of induction motor to improve power factor, reduce stator current, and improve efficiency and ability of overloading. The principle of the reactive power compensating device for windings rotor induction motor is described and mathematical model in dq0 reference frame is set up. A single phase to three phases AC-AC cycloconverter is adopted in order to produce capacitive voltage, which make the circuit simple and capacity of transformer much decremented. Using an 89S52 sing-chip microcomputer as the control kernel and MAX197 as A/D, the system is capable of automatic adjusting the function of power factor compensation as the change of the motor load. The system was tested on a JR138-8 motor. The result shows that the power factor is over 0.96 and the current of the stator reduces over 15%.

A 1-phase induction motor usually has a complicated windings design which compares to polyphase induction motor. In addition, a large capacitor start is required to operate the motor. It is an expensive way to operate the motor if it compare to polyphase induction motor. So, a new innovation method is required to make the motor more simple and cheaper. This research is purposed to study a new winding design for a single-phase capacitor motor. Winding design of the motor was conducted to a simple winding design like a 4-phase induction motor that has four identical windings. The comparator motor that use in this study was a Three-phase induction motor with data 1400 RPM, 1.5 HP, 50Hz, 380/220V, Y/Δ, 2.74/4.7A, 4 poles, that had the same current rating which the proposed method. The result showed that the motor design on this proposed method could be operated at 88.18 % power rating with power factor close to unity.

One of the most important operational requirements for any electrical power network for both distribution and transmission level is voltage control. Many studies have been carried out to improve or develop new voltage control techniques to facilitate safe connection of distributed generation. In Saudi Arabia, due to environmental, economic and development perspectives, a wide integration of photovoltaic (PV) genera-tion in distribution network is expected in the near future. This development in the network may cause voltage regulation problems due to the interaction with the existing conventional control system. In a previous paper, a control system has been described using a fuzzy logic control to set the on-line tap changer for the primary substation. In this paper a new control system is proposed for controlling the power factor of individual PV invertors based on observed correlation between net active and reactive power at each connection. A fuzzy logic control has been designed to alter the power factor for the remote invertors from the secondary substation to keep the feeder voltage within the permissible limits. In order to confirm the validity of the proposed method, simulations are carried out for a realistic distribution network with real data for load and solar radiation. Results showing the performance of the new control method are presented and discussed.

This paper presents a control scheme for a photovoltaic (PV) system that uses a single-phase grid-connected inverter with low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability. In this scheme, two PI regulators are used to adjust the power angle and voltage modulation index of the inverter; therefore, controlling the inverter’s active and reactive output power, respectively. A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is also implemented to manage the inverter’s operation during the LVRT operation. The FLC adjusts (or de-rates) the inverter’s reference active and reactive power commands based on the grid voltage sag and the power available from the PV system. Therefore, the inverter operation has been divided into two modes: (i) Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) during the normal operating conditions of the grid, and (ii) LVRT support when the grid is operating under faulty conditions. In the LVRT mode, the de-rating of the inverter active output power allows for injection of some reactive power, hence providing voltage support to the grid and enhancing the utilization factor of the inverter’s capacity. The proposed system was modelled and simulated using MATLAB Simulink. The simulation results showed good system performance in response to changes in reference power command, and in adjusting the amount of active and reactive power injected into the grid.

Problems of power quality have been increasingly concerned by the researchers, as the domestic appliances we are usually used are single-phase load, which mainly causes the unbalance of three-phase voltage of power supply. If the induction motor is supplied by three-phase unbalanced voltage, the currents, active and reactive power, efficiency, and losses are affected as the negative-sequence current appears, this paper is emphasized on the induction motor’s characteristics when its’ power supply is three-phase unbalanced voltage by experimental research.
