This paper discusses the different parameters affecting the economic feasibility of power factor correction. It will be shown that the specific costs of the transmission and compensation elements as well as those of the electric energy and power losses have a decisive influence on the achievable overall saving. After formulating an objective function representing this overall saving, taking also the load factor into account, an analytical approach to the determination of the optimal size of the compensation equipment is presented. A generalized chart is given which enables the designer to know whether the power factor correction is feasible or not under any circumstances. Also, the most suitable degree of reactive power compensation can be directly found. The results obtained from a digital program are also given to indicate the sensitivity of the optimal compensation factor to changes in system parameters such as the specific energy loss cost and the annual rate of interest and depreciation. Moreover, the good agreement of the results of the digital computation with those determined using the suggested simple generalized chart could be realized.
