Introduction What is Power Factor?
ABB Group April 17, 2009 | Slide 5
What is Power Factor?
Power factor is the measurement of how effectively electrical power is being used:
The higher the power factor, the more efficient the plantall the way back to the generator
PresenterPresentation NotesTo appreciate the use and advantage of capacitor banks or reactive power compensators in general, there are a few concepts that needs to be addressed.One of the most important is Power Factor.To put it simply, Power factor is a measurement of how efficiently electrical power is being used.The higher the power factor of a plant, the more efficient the plant is working at. And the utilization of the cables, transformers and generators.
ABB Group April 17, 2009 | Slide 6
What is Power Factor?
An electrical systems power is composed of different parts:
Active (working) power which performs the useful work
Reactive (non-working) power which creates the magnetic fields for inductive devices
Apparent Power (kVA) = Active power (kW) + Reactive power (kVAr)
Reactive powerActive power
PresenterPresentation NotesLoads in electrical plants draws 2 types of power; active power, which is measured in the unit of kW. And reactive power, which is measured in kVAR.Active power is the component which is used to perform useful work, which is converted into other forms of energy such as mechanical energy when the electrical motor turns.Reactive power, sometimes referred to as non-working power, is the component that creates and maintain electrical and magnetic fields of inductive devices. Therefore, even though reactive power is not directly contributing as a measurement of work performed (by a motor as an example), reactive power is still important for the motor to work.Apparent power, is a quadratic summation of active and reactive power, and is measured in kVA.Therefore, when a motor runs, it is drawing both active and reactive power from the source to perform its function.
ABB Group April 17, 2009 | Slide 7
What is Power Factor? Low Power Factor is like
kVA - Apparent PowerorBeer - Full glass
kVAr - Reactive PowerorBeer - Foam
kW - Active PowerorBeer - Liquid
PresenterPresentation NotesA simple analogy which can illustrate the concept of active power, reactive power and apparent power is a glass of beer.Imagine that you bought a full glass of beer and the full glass of beer is seen as apparent power. Now in the glass, there is the portion that is liquid, the beer itself. This is the part which fills you up. That could be described as the active power.On the top of the liquid, is the region of foam. This part does not fill you up, but takes up a portion of the glass no less. This could be describe as reactive power.So when you have low power factor in your factory or plant, it will be like you are paying for a glass of beer which has lots of foam and little beer itself. Not a good preposition.
ABB Group April 17, 2009 | Slide 8
What is Power Factor?
kVA: Total Power
kW: Working Power
kVAr: Reactive Power needed to generate magnetic fields for inductive loads such as motors
Power Factor: The relationship of real power (kW) and total power (kVA) consumed

< KVA1
PresenterPresentation NotesPower factor can also be represented in a graphical sense.The active power is on the horizontal axis and the vertical axis is the reactive power. The diagonal line therefore represents the quadratic summation of the active power and the reactive power.Power factor is then the cos angle between the active power and the apparent power.As you can observe, as the cos angle becomes smaller, the apparent power approaches the value of active power. This means improvement in the power factor.Another way of viewing power factor is that PF is that it is a ratio of active power (kW) versus apparent power (kVA).

PresenterPresentation NotesSo back to the beer analogy of power factor, this is what a system with good power factor looks like in comparison to one which has poor power factor.So which glass would you choose? What power factor would you want your plant to be running on?
ABB Group April 17, 2009 | Slide 10
What is Power Factor?
Why improve
The lower the power factor, the more reactive power the Utilities need to provide. This can result in:
Larger equipment (i.e. poles and wires) required to supply power
System capacity problems leading to brown-outs
Higher operating costs due to maximum demand charges kVAr (kVA) tariff and energy loss
PresenterPresentation NotesBut here are the real world reasons why having a high power factor is important.The impacts can be viewed from the point of view of an utility as well as an end-user.As a utility or a generation of power, if your end-user is not improving their power factor, your investments will have to cater for the generation, transmission and distribution of both active and reactive power. This means larger equipment like transformers and cables.This higher demand of power has the potential of pushing the limit if the system to its limits thereby, causing brown-outs.As an end-user, the power providers will transfer the cost of their investment in having to install larger equipment in the form of higher tariffs and penalties.

PresenterPresentation NotesCapacitors produce reactive power through its charge and discharge cycles when connected to alternating voltage. By installing capacitors, network capacities can be freed.This means that power transformers can operate at a reduced capacity, allowing the option either more loads to be connected to it. Or by operating under less stress, the service life of the transformer can be prolonged.New transformers can be sized for a lower apparent, reducing capital investmentsBy increasing the power factor, cables with a small sectional area can be used.

PresenterPresentation NotesSo what is the value of installing capacitors?For energy to be used efficiently in a plant, good power factor has to be maintained.Capacitors are the simplest and most economical method of improving power factor.By freeing capacities in the network, capital investment can deferred and thereby reducing operating cost,Existing equipment can be better utilized.Key industrial applications where it is beneficial to keep good power factors are mining, heavy industries, chemical, pulp & paper, shipping, cement, plastics, petro-chemical and other.In addition, metal enclosure of these banks meant that the components are protected and can cope with the harsh environment of these industries.
