Use of Series and Shunt Capacitors in Transmission Lines
Let’s first understand the effect of power factor on the power system. The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined to be; Power factor = 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 / 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. Apparent power is the product of the… Read More »
