Abstract

Language:

Power factor is a measure of how efficiently electrical power is consumed. This paper presents the development of a power factor model for power system loads to establish the effect of power factor correction (PFC) on the electrical distribution network of Lever Brothers Nigeria PLC. Measured data were taken on the distribution network before and after the installation of the PFC capacitors. The data, which includes power factors, active power, reactive power, apparent power, and current, were used as input parameters for the development of a polynomial PF model of order 3. The result of the model reveals a power factor improvement from 0.5671 to 0.9693 after the installation of the PFC capacitors. Analysis of the model can be used to reduce the cost of electric power production and increase the capacity and efficiency of the electrical power systems.
