Reactive Power Compensation

In this research, we seek to identify the effects of a low power factor on Swaziland Electricity Company’s power supply system and recommend possible solutions to the problem. The results are useful in determining how to optimally deliver power to a load at a power factor that is reasonably close to unity, thus reducing the utility’s operational costs while increasing the quality of the service being supplied.The book includes the following chapters:•ABSTRACT •CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION •CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW •CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY•CHAPTER 4: DATA COLLECTION •CHAPTER 5: RESULTS AND ANALYSIS OF THE SIMULATION MODEL •CHAPTER 6: BENEFITS OF POWER FACTOR CORRECTION •CHAPTER 7: FINDINGS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS •REFERENCES •APPENDIXES
