Abstract :
Automatic Power Factor Controllers
(APFCs) play a crucial role in modern electrical systems
by ensuring efficient electrical power and improving
power quality. This paper presents a comprehensive
overview of the Design, implementation, and
performance analysis of an APFC system. The proposed
APFC system employs advanced control techniques to
regulate the power factor of the electrical load, thereby
minimizing reactive power consumption and optimizing
overall system efficiency. The design process
encompasses the selection of suitable power electronics
converters, control algorithms, and sensing techniques
tailored to the requirements of an application. The
results demonstrate significant improvements in power
quality, energy utilization, and system stability, thereby
highlighting the practical relevance and applicability of
the developed APFC technology.
Keywords :
