A 230 V, single-phase supply feeds the following loads: (a) incandescent lamps taking a current
of 6 A at unity power factor; (b) fluorescent lamps taking a current of 5 A at 0.75 leading power
factor; (c) a motor taking a current of 7 A at 0.7 lagging power factor. You are required to
correct the power factor to unity.
a) Show how it can be achieved by connecting a parallel reactance to the load
- provide the phasor diagram based on computed branch currents; and the power
triangles before and after power factor correction.
- provide the appropriate kVar rating of reactance, and if it’s a capacitor bank compute
the capacitance or if it’s an reactor (inductor) compute the inductance.
b) If it is proposed to use series reactance to perform power factor correction, show how this
can be achieved and comment on this approach.
d) Verify your answers using Matlab/Simulink
- show the rms currents on the Simulink model
- Plot the instantaneous branch currents and show clearly how the phase angle between
the supply voltage and supply current changes, accordingly

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
