Load balancing and power factor correction in power distribution system

Abstract

The project presents an approach for load balancing and power factor correction. First we have considered a three phase grounded load system where the supply is a three phase balanced supply. Before balancing the load and correcting the power factor it is necessary to compensate the neutral current. We propose three schemes for neutral current balancing. After that the system becomes equivalent to ungrounded star connected load. Now to carry power factor correction and load balancing we need to convert the load to delta connected load. Hence we carry out star-delta transformation and we carry out our main objective through the proposed methods.
