Abstract
The obligation to comply to power factor limits has driven consumers to adopt reactive power compensation techniques for the loads. The advancements in solid state switches have paved way for replacement of automatic power factor correction units with solid state switch based compensation. Even then, Thyristor switched capacitor (TSC) based power factor compensation used in industries are very few, owing to their higher cost. However, understanding and incorporating the requirements and conditions for effective operation of TSC power factor compensation is necessary to achieve maximum payback. The results of an attempt to study and simulate the TSC for a group of induction motors is presented in this paper. The study shows the superiority of performance of TSC in respect of accuracy in achieving the desired power factor in comparison with Fixed capacitor compensation.
