Power factor plays a great role in an electrical system. A low power factor will draw more current in the system and this will lead to high electricity bills and higher power loses. Conventional way to improve power factor is by installing a static capacitor bank which is connected permanently to the electrical system through fused switches. However, this method is not effective as the load is usually fluctuating according to demand. Hence, the operation and power factor correction is not optimized as the capacitive compensation does not change according to load variations.
