ABSTRACT

In the present technological revolution power is very precious. So we


need to find out the causes of power loss and improve the power system. Due
to industrialization the use of inductive load increases and hence power system
losses its efficiency. So, we need to improve the power factor with a suitable
method. Whenever we are thinking about any programmable devices then the
embedded technology comes into forefront. The embedded is now a day very
much popular and most the product are developed with Microcontroller based
embedded technology.
Automatic power factor correction device reads power factor from
line voltage and line current by determining the delay in the arrival of the
current signal with respect to voltage signal from the function generator with
high accuracy by using an internal timer. This time values are then calibrated as
phase angle and corresponding power factor. Then the values are displayed in
the 2X16 LCD modules. Then the motherboard calculates the compensation
requirement and accordingly switches on different capacitor banks. This is
developed by using Arduino Nano microcontroller.
Automatic power factor correction techniques can be applied to the
industries, power systems and also households to make them stable and due to
that the system becomes stable and efficiency of the system as well as the
apparatus increases. The use of microcontroller reduces the costs.
