Design and simulation of Reactive Power Compensation in teaching the Power Supply module

Abstract

Low power factor results in considerable power loss. Therefore, a simple solution to reduce losses and save energy is to improve the power factor by using reactive power compensation. This is an important content in the electricity supply subject for electrical engineering students. This article presents the design of reactive power compensation to improve the power factor and reduce power loss in distribution systems. The design process is simulated in EMTP software to check the accuracy of the proposed method.
