Abstract :
Power factor improvement is one of the techniques which helps in conservation of electrical power along with a number of other benefits. A number of different techniques can be used to improve the power factor. Different techniques give good results for different types of loads, but the technique which is needed to improve power factor for the power system of the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Pakistan, with highly variable load conditions, is explained in this paper. The technique described in this paper is claimed to be the most efficient for the power factor improvement capacitor banks which are designed after computerized energy analysis on each load centre. This paper presents practical studies, performed by KEL (Khawaja Electronics Pvt. Ltd. Pakistan) who are the manufacturer of the FUJI Capacitor in Pakistan, WAPDA and ENERCON (Energy Conservation Department Govt of Pakistan), showing the benefits achieved
