| Abstract |
To reduce energy consumption, consumers are reducing electricity costs by reducing power loss by power factor improvement by installing a power capacitor. However, since the installation location of the power capacitor is not specified in detail, it is difficult to loss reduction effect of the branch line because the customer is installed in the motor control center due to the maintenance and management convenience. Therefore, the power capacitor should be installed at the end (load terminal) of the line, which can greatly improve the power factor. In this paper, we propose a method to minimize the power loss of the branch line according to the optimum location of the power capacitor after calculating the loss reduction of the branch line through the installation and operation of the power capacitor. |
