Industrial customers use three-phase power consumption with different power factors. If their power factor drops below a prescribed value, power losses in transmission lines increase. For this reason, the customers have to pay a penalty. In order to avoid these troubles, industrial customer installs power factor correction capacitors.
The Advanced Power Factor Compensation Application, “AEL-EECFP”, has been developed as a complement to AEL-RPC in order to study in depth the power factor compensation when there is a dynamic load.
