Modern power systems face challenges related to reactive power, which is essential for the operation of distribution networks and mitigating the adverse effects of increased energy consumption and environmental pollution. This paper aims to examine the optimization of the power factor (PF), represented as cos φ, through the use of compensation capacitors within industrial settings, specifically in the Industrial Area of Kavala. An analysis was conducted to identify the benefits gained from replacing existing capacitors with more efficient alternatives, thus achieving a techno-economically viable solution. The methodology included a case study that demonstrated various compensation methods, including individual and central compensation strategies, to improve energy efficiency. The findings indicate that optimizing the power factor can lead to significant energy savings and reduced operational costs for industrial users, thereby addressing both economic and environmental concerns. The results underscore the importance of adopting such measures to enhance the stability and performance of power systems while promoting sustainable practices in industrial energy consumption.
