Power factor is the ratio between active power (W) and apparent power (VA). In an electrical installation, the quality of electric power can be said to be good if the value of the power factor is above a predetermined standard of 0.85 according to the Minister (ESDM) Number 30 of 2012 [1]. From the research that has been done at the Blitar Square Shopping Center, it was found that the power factor value is still below the standard with an average value of 0.711. With the low power factor value, this shopping center gets a penalty from PT. PLN (Persero) due to the use of reactive power. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to improve the power factor by installing a capacitor bank. The installation of this capacitor bank is expected to be able to increase the power factor value with a power factor target of 0.98 and reduce the charge for reactive power usage penalties. The calculation results show that global compensation requires 12 capacitor banks with a rating of 10.4 kVAR, while sectoral compensation on the chiller load panel requires 7 capacitor banks with a rating of 10.4 kVAR and the foodmart load panel requires a capacitor bank with a rating of 10. 4 kVAR is 6 pieces. In simulating the installation of a capacitor bank using the ETAP application, it is known that the installation of a capacitor bank can increase the power factor value. In addition, the installation of a capacitor bank also results in an increase in the voltage value in the system, this voltage increase is still below the permissible standard of ± 5%. The simulation of installing a capacitor bank on global compensation can improve the power factor value from 72.99% to 96.97%, with a voltage increase of 0.479% from the initial value of 397 V to 398.9 V, and a decrease in the current value of 24.645% from the initial value. 330.7 A to 249.2 A. While the simulation of installing a capacitor bank in sectoral compensation can improve the power factor value from 72.99% to 93.57%, with a voltage increase of 0.401% from the initial value of 397 V to 398.6 V , and a decrease in the value of current by 21.593% from the initial value of 330.7 A to 258.1 A. The cost of installing a capacitor bank in global compensation was Rp. 189,897,500 while the sectoral compensation is Rp. 211.305.600. It can be concluded that the installation of a capacitor bank using the global compensation method is more effective.

Haimi Ardiansyah Akademi Komunitas Negeri Aceh Barat _________________________ Abstract Penelitian ini membahas tentang pengaruh penggunaan kapasitor bank pada penyulang kota di PT. PLN (Persero) Rayon Meulaboh Kota. Pendistribusian tenaga listrik yang stabil adalah syarat mutlak yang harus dipenuhi PT. PLN (Persero) dalam menjawab kebutuhan konsumen. Bertambahnya beban yang bersifat induktif akan berpengaruh pada penurunan nilai faktor daya pada sistem kelistrikan. Selanjutnya kondisi ini juga akan membutuhkan daya reaktif yang sangat besar sehingga pembangkit listrik harus menyalurkan daya yang lebih besar. Salah satu upaya untuk memperbaiki faktor daya adalah dengan menambahkan beban kapasitif. Perbaikan faktor daya pada penyulang kota dengan menggunakan kapasitor bank bertujuan untuk meningkatkan daya aktif sehingga mendekati dengan daya semu yang diproduksi PT. PLN. Penggunakan kapasitor bank ini diharapkan mampu menurunkan daya reaktif dan memperbaiki faktor daya pada penyulang kota. Keywords: Daya Listrik, Daya Reaktif, Faktor daya, Kapasitor Bank __________________________ Abstrak The study discusses the effect of installing bank capacitor on city electric feeder at PT. PLN (Persero) Rayon Meulaboh Kota. Stable electric supply is an absolute requirement that must be met by PT. PLN (Persero) in answering consumer needs. The increase of inductive loads will affect the decrease power factor value in the electrical system. Furthermore, this condition will also require a very large reactive power so that power plants have to supply more electric power. Installing capacitive loads is one of the best options in improving the power factor. The improvement of power factor in city feeders using capacitor banks aims to increase the active power to get close to the apparent power which is produced by PT. PLN (Persero). In short, the use of capacitor banks is expected to reduce reactive power and improve the power factor in city feeders.

<p>The use of electricity with large capacity sometimes faces various kinds of problems. These problems include network losses and voltage drops that occur in the channel. Improvement of electric power factor at PT. Karya Toha Putra is expected to improve the quality of electric power. This improvement is also expected to reduce the cost of electricity bills at PT. Karya Toha Putra. To be able to implement improvements in the quality of the electric power, it is necessary to calculate the reactive power compensated. In this case the power factor to be achieved is 0.95. After doing these calculations, the determination of the capacitor value will be used. By doing these stages, it is expected that the installation of capacitor banks can improve the quality of electric power. Bank capacitors are collections of capacitors used to provide reactive power compensation to improve the electrical power factor. From the results of the study showed that the amount of compensation needed to improve the power factor at PT. Karya Toha Putra is 50 kVAR, divided into 5 steps with one step, a capacitor of 10 kVAR.</p>

Abstract This paper describes a new method of determining the reactive power factor. The reactive power factor herein is calculated on the basis of time samples and not] with the Fourier transform of signals, like it was done previously. The new reactive power factor calculation results from the receiver admittance-operator decomposition into the product of self-adjoint and unitary operators. This is an alternative decomposition to another one, namely into a sum of the Hermitian and skew-Hemiitian operators.

Shunt capacitor is a main measure to reactive power compensation of power system, which has the advantages of flexibility and economy. In order to guarantee the safety of shunt capacitor, the methods for protecting against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and unbalance in circuits according to the different operation modes are used. This paper in detail introduces unbalance protection ways under different connection modes of capacitor group. It is analyzed and calculated that the unbalanced current and voltage with the effects of fault capacitor units, components and fuses on capacitor bank as well through a case of unbalance computation of shunt capacitor banks (SCB) of ungrounded single star with external fuse. It is indicated by PSCAD simulation analysis that the result of theory calculation is the same as the simulation, which provides theory basis of setting the tripping point and alarm point of relay protection.

Electrical distribution system suffers from various problems like reactive power burden, unbalanced loading, voltage regulation and harmonic distortion. Though DSTATCOMS are ideal solutions for such systems, they are not popular because of the cost and complexity of control involved. Phase wise balanced reactive power compensations are required for fast changing loads needing dynamic power factor correcting devices leading to terminal voltage stabilization. Static Var Compensators (SVCs) remain ideal choice for such loads in practice due to low cost and simple control strategy. These SVCs, while correcting power factor, inject harmonics into the lines causing serious concerns about quality of the distribution line supplies at PCC. This paper proposes to minimize the harmonics injected into the distribution systems by the operation of TSC-TCR type SVC used in conjunction with fast changing loads at LV distribution level. Fuzzy logic system and ANN are going to be used solve this nonlinear problem, giving optimum triggering delay angles used to trigger switches in TCR. The scheme with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is attractive and can be used at distribution level where load harmonics are within limits. Verification of the system and by using mat lab / simulink with proper modeling.

For all industrial and distribution sites, the lagging power factor of electrical loads is a common problem. In the early days, it was corrected manually by adding the capacitor banks of certain values in parallel. Automatic power factor correction (APFC) using a capacitor bank helps to make a power factor that is close to unity. It consists of a microcontroller that processes the value of the power factor to enable the system and monitor the power factor if it falls below (0.77) from the specified level. This paper presents the automatic correction of the power factor by adding the capacitors banks automatically of the desired value in a three-phase system in the form of binary coding (0-7). The main purpose of this system is to maintain the power factor as close as to unity, for the experimental case, it is set to (0.93) which helps to decreases the losses and ultimately increase the efficiency of the system.

This research is a case study, namely the electrical installation system for AK-Manufacturing Bantaeng fabrication workshops. This study aims to improve the value of cos φ (power factor) from 0.75 to 0.97 and to determine the capacity of the capacitor bank that will be installed on the electrical installation line of the AK-Manufacturing Bantaeng Fabrication Machine workshop building. The problem that occurs is the low value of cos φ (power factor) in the installed electrical system which causes the installed active power to be not maximal. For this reason, a capacitor bank with an adjusted capacity value is needed to provide reactive power injection so that the value of cos φ can be increased from 0.75 to 0.97. This study uses an analysis method to determine the value of reactive power to be injected into the electrical installation system. The results of this study indicate that the required reactive power injection capacity is 12 KVar or 12,000 Var. This value is sufficient to improve the power factor from 0.75 to 0.97. This means that the electrical installation system is more optimal.

Background: Low power factor is regarded as one of the most dedicated issues in large scale inductive power networks, because of the lost energy in term of a reactive power. Accordingly, installing capacitors in the network improves the power factor and hence decreases the reactive power. Methods: This paper presents an approach to maximize the saving in terms of financial costs, energy resources, environmental protection, and also enhance the power system efficiency. Moreover, the proposed technique tends to avoid the penalties imposed over the electricity bill (in the case of the power factor drops below the permissible limit), by applying a proposed method that consists of two stages. The first stage determines the optimal amount of compensating capacitors by using a suggested analytical method. The second stage employs a statistical approach to assess the reduction in energy losses resulting from the capacitors placement in each of the network nodes. Accordingly, the expected beneficiaries from improving the power factor are mainly large inductive networks such as large scale factories and industrial field. A numerical example is explained in useful detail to show the effectiveness and simplicity of the proposed approach and how it works. Results: The proposed technique tends to minimize the energy losses resulted from the reactive power compensation, release the penalties imposed on electricity bills due to the low power factor. The numerical examples show that the saved cost resulted from improving the power factor, and energy loss reduction is around 10.94 % per month from the total electricity bill. Conclusion: The proposed technique to install capacitors has significant benefits and effective power consumption improvement when the cost of the imposed penalty is regarded as high. The tradeoff in this technique is between the cost of the installed capacitors and the saving gained from the compensation.

This paper present the project designed to correcting power factor for medical industries in Malaysia automatically. Which with hope to make the cost and energy usage efficient, because the energy source are depleting due to increase in population. Power factor is the ratio of real power and apparent power. This definition is mathematically represented as kW/kVA where kW is active power and kVA is apparent power (active + reactive). Reactive power is the non-working power generated by the magnetic and inductive load to generate magnetic flux. The increase in reactive power increase the apparent power so the power factor will decrease. Low pF will cause the industry to meet high demand thus making it less efficient. The main aim of this project is to increasing the current power factor of medical industries from 0.85 to 0.90. Power factor compensation contribute to reduction in current-dependent losses and increase energy efficiency while expanding the reliability of planning for future energy network. As technology develops, the gradual cost and efficiency penalty should reduce. Therefore, automatic power factor compensation device should become cost-effective and smaller device over time. That is the reason this project is using programmable device as it is a miniature architecture device.
