Power Factor Improvement System
1. ABSTRACT:
3. INTRODUCTION:
The basic purpose of this project is to improve the power factor to reduce the
cost or electricity bills.
In this project the components to be used are available in market having
different prices. Microcontroller (PIC18F452) is available in market in
Rs:850/-LCD is available in market in Rs:300/-. Capacitors which are available
in market in Rs.60-80/- and Resistors which are available in market in Rs.15-
25/-. Step down transformer which are available in market in Rs.450/-.
In this project, we are using a microcontroller as one of the main
components, the capacitors and resistors is connected with the
microcontroller(PIC18F452) as input and the LCD will be connected as output
giving us the reading. By using all these we are making an power factor
improvement circuit. This project is of very less cost and very helpful in daily
life using instruments and especially in the industries.

5. METHODOLOGY:
The design aims to monitor phase angle continuously and in the event of
phase angle deviation, an improvement or correction action is initialized
to compensate for this difference by continuous changing variable
capacitors value via switching process. The overall system requires only
one PIC chip, a few power electronic components and a bank of
capacitors.
6. COMPONENTS TO BE USED:
Micro-controller (PIC18F452)
Lcd (display)
Capacitors
Resistors
Step down transformer
7. Pin diagram:
Pin diagram of PIC 18F452 is shown in figure 4. 18F 452 has 5 ports named
as RA, RB, RC, RD and RE. Each pin of PIC 18F452 has more than one
functions. Pin 11 and 32 are used as VDD, pin 12 and 31 are used as VSS.
Pin 13 and 14 are used for oscillator. Pin 1 is used for reset and it is used
in case of programming.
