Abstract— Good quality power along with efficient supply system is the need of ours in past few decades.
Making power generation system more ecofriendly use of renewable sources of energy was promoted. To
attain this implementation of hybrid mode (solar photovoltaic system) of power supply came forward, main
issue arose was degrading power factor the main reason of this was the incapability of PV system to supply
reactive power. This could however be compensated by implementing various power factor correction
techniques. Out of all such methods capacitor compensation method is efficient to overcome this may it be
an industry or a home.
KEYWORDS: Power quality, Solar, inverter, Power Factor.
I. INTRODUCTION
An electric power system can be outlined as
variety of electrical devices interconnected to each
other in order to maintain flow of power from
generating station (power plant, nuclear plant,
hydro power station, solar plant) to load end the
transfer is done through different transmission
lines and distribution system formed. Then this
electricity can be used for consumption in
residential areas i.e. our homes or in industrial
application to operate large machines. Typical
power system is a combination of generating
station, responsible for conversion of power from
different forms to electrical form. The
transmission system acts as path of flow of power
from source to load. The power transferred is
utilized by loads which include small table fan at
our home to large motors working in industries.
Three phase AC power is standard form of power.
A. Reactive power
Typically reactive loads were considered to
dissipate zero power. When observed it was found
that reactive loads such as capacitor and inductor
draw current & also shows drop voltage when
connected in a circuit, thus it is said that these
elements dissipate power. This power is also
referred as imaginary power. It is measured in
volt-amperes reactive (VAR). It is denoted by ‘Q’.
B. True power
The real amount of power which is employed or
dissipated in a circuit is termed as true power. It is
measured in watts & its symbol is ‘P’.
C. Apparent power
True power and apparent power when taken
together is referred as apparent power. Apparent
power is measured in the unit of volt-amps (VA)
and it is symbolized by ‘S’.
True power is a function of resistive element of
circuit, reactive power is a function of reactance
and apparent power is thus function of total
impedance of the circuit.
