Power Factor Improvement using Thyristor Switch Reactance

Project Title

Power Factor Improvement using Thyristor Switch Reactance

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Our project is based on Power Electronics. In this project we are improving the power factor through Thyristor Switch Reactance (TSR). TSR belongs to Flexible AC Transmission System. We are desining this project for industries. Our project improves the power factor from 0.5 to 0.80.

Project Objectives

1. Improvement of Power Factor

2. Enhance Relaibility in present power system 

3. Reduces the power losses
 

Project Implementation Method

We are making a prototype project. We are implementing it on PCB with proper designing and shows the results through LCD.

Benefits of the Project

1. To relaiable the power system. 

2. Reduce the losses which have great effects on cost of electricity used by industries. 

3. It is uninterrupted system due to which industries work will not disturbed.
 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

At the end of this project we will achieve improved power factor  which have positive effect on industrial electric bills.
