Power factor correction is a vital tool for maintaining the terminal voltage of an electrical system that operates at low power factor since any sudden change in power factor and current affect the terminal voltage of the system. If the power factor of any electrical system is improved to unity with the application of capacitors, the current of the same value of the power to be supplied is reduced to a minimum. This results in total reduction of power losses, terminal voltage drop and sizes of transformers, alternators, cables and switchgears. In order to encourage the large electricity end users to keep their loads at a unity or near unity power, electricity tariff is structured in such a way to depend on the consumers’ power factor. Power factor correction will result in reduction of maximum demand (KVA or KW) and affect the annual saving over the maximum demand charge. Also some expenditure will be incurred annually in the form of the interest and depreciation made over the power factor correcting equipment. Hence EEP computer application software was used to analyse the total cost that associated with power factor correction and annual saving with the application of power factor improvement. With this method, some percentage of money spent annually on electricity tariff will be reduced.
