Abstract— This paper proposes the Automatic Power Factor Correction using Microcontroller. In recent days, the generation of efficient power is very crucial and challenging task. One of the reasons is the increase in the use of inductive loads which causes the low power factor.
Fundamentals of power factor. Power factor is the ratio of working power to apparent power. It measures how effectively electrical power is being used. A high power factor signals efficient utilization of electrical power, while a low power factor indicates poor utilization of electrical power.
Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) is a technology used in electrical engineering to manage and improve the power factor of an electrical load. The power factor measures how efficiently electrical power is used in a system.
What Is Power Factor Correction (PFC)? PFC is a methodology used to improve the device''s power factor or increase the power factor of the load, thereby reducing the current drawn from the mains and improving the efficiency of the distribution system.
The aim of this project is to build an Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Unit, which is able to monitor the energy consumption of a system and automatically improve its power factor.
In order to enhance power quality, this article suggests a computationally managed infrastructure for Automated Power Factor Correction (APFC). The paper describes the design and simulation of an APFC system utilising an Arduino UNO microcontroller.
