Rosni Sayed Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology Rajshahi-6204 Bangladesh A.H.M Iftekharul Ferdous Islamic University of Technology Dhaka Bangladesh Md. Asaduzzaman Shobug Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology Rajshahi-6204 Bangladesh ABSTRACT Thirst for energy sources is unquenchable, but we hardly realize that we are wasting a part of energy every day due to lagging power factor of the inductive load that we use. Now-a-days it is a great concern of power Engineers to compensate this loss by the improvement of power factor. There are many methods of power factor correction have been proposed but with the growth of technological revolution automation of every system is desired. Whenever we think about automatic systems, programmable devices come to our fore front. This thesis describes the design and development of power factor correction with AVR microcontroller. Here correction method is described by synchronous condenser instead of capacitor bank because of long life and low maintenance cost. It also suppresses harmonics which can t be possible by using capacitor bank. This method involves continuous measurement and monitoring the power factor and generation of required control signal from microcontroller for controlling the DC excitation of synchronous condenser so as to improve the power factor. Keywords Power factor; AVR Microcontroller; Synchronous Condenser; Control signal; DC excitation. 1. INTRODUCTION In the present scenario of technological revolution, it has been observed that power is very precious. The industrialization is primarily increasing the inductive loading, the inductive 12 load affect the power factor so the power system losses its efficiency. There are certain organization developing products in this field to improve and compensate power factor. In the present trends the design are also moving forwards the miniature architecture, this can be achieved in a product by using programmable device. Most of the products are developed with microcontroller based embedded technology. The advantage of using microcontroller is the reduction of cost and the use of extra hardware such as the use of timer, RAM and ROM can be avoided. This technology is very fast so controlling of multiple parameters is possible, also the parameter are field programmable by the user. The automatic power factor correction device is a very useful device for efficient transmission of active power. If the consumer connect inductive load, then the power factor lags, when the power factor goes below a certain level, then the electric company charge penalty to the consumer. So it is essential to maintain the power factor within a limit. Automatic power factor correction device reads the power factor from the line voltage and line current, calculating the compensation requirement and switch on the different capacitor banks or synchronous condenser Necessity of power factor improvement The load draws greater current for the same value of the useful power in case of poor power factor.
2 A simple example showing the current required by a single phase electric motor is given below: Supplied voltage = 240 volts single phase. Motor input = 10kW Power factor = 0.65 Current (I 1 ) = Power (kw)/(volts(v) power factor) = 10000/ = 64.1 Amp. If the power factor to the motor is increased to 0.9 the current drawn by the motor shall be Current (I 2 ) = Power (kw)/(volts(v) power factor) = 10000/ = 46.3 Amp Thus, as the power factor decreases the current required for the same value of active, or useful, power increases. The result is that the sizes of the equipment, like the switchgear, cables, transformer, etc, will have to be increased to cater the higher current in the circuit. All this adds to the cost. Further, the greater current causes increased power loss or I 2 R losses in the circuits. Also due to higher current, the conductor temperature rises and hence the life of the insulation is reduced [1]. Also, with the increased current, voltage drop increases, thereby the voltage at the supply point is reduced. For different loads it causes voltage drop resulting in: a. Lower output of the illumination system. b. Less current is drawn by the heating device so that the operating temperature drops. This results in increased consumption for the same rise of temperature c. The induction motors show down and therefore draw more current to produce a fixed torque for the loads. In the transmission and distribution of the current itself, from the generating station to the consumer, heating losses will be greater at low power factor (varying in proportion to the square of the current) and the voltage drop will be in accordance with relation I Z (where Z is the impedance). Since the losses in the electricity system due to low power factor will 13 incur additional cost, it is evident that these will have to be reflected to some extent in the charges to the consumers. This is implemented by metering the maximum demand in kva or by applying a low power factor penalty component in tariffs Synchronous Condenser over Capacitor Bank Features of capacitor banks as power factor corrector: Typically applied in low voltage circuits ( V) [2] More expensive for medium voltage (3.8kV to 6.9kV) [2] Depending on the size oil containment is required and enclosures Flammable dielectric Require filter capacitors to de-tune harmonic frequencies Vulnerable to switching surges Compensation limited to 0.95 lagging power factor due to over excitation and switching resonance Problems that are introduced by capacitor bank as power factor corrector: Capacitors absorb a lot of harmonics and transients present in the system and develop in the system as they offer low impedance to harmonics and impulses. The energy of these harmonics and impulses heats up the capacitor and they may fail prematurely. Average expected life of a capacitor bank in a system having lots of harmonics and voltage transients is around five years. Another problem with capacitors is that they generate harmonics, specially, at the time of switching on a bank. These harmonics further aggravate situation and may even cause system instability, if system inductance and capacitance form a resonant circuit. The generation of harmonics is worst if one bank is already one and another bank is switched on randomly. Incoming bank has two sources, supply and existing bank [3].
3 The situation is somewhat redeemed by synchronous switching, which is a technique to switch capacitors such that voltage is at zero crossing at the time of contact. All of the above problems are solved with the help of synchronous condenser and a few more advantages are present with synchronous condenser System model Figure 1 shows the overall system model Synchronous Condenser as power factor correction equipment By operating synchronous motors with a leading power factor, the overall system power factor can be shifted toward unity. The power factor of a synchronous motor can be controlled by varying the amount of excitation current delivered to the motor field during operation. As the dc field excitation is increased, the power factor of the motor load, as measured at the motor terminal, becomes more leading as the overexcited synchronous motor produces VARs. If excitation is decreased, the power factor of the motor shifts toward lagging, and the motor will import VARs from the system. The synchronous condenser offers several advantages over capacitor bank [4]. Reliability is very high. Step-less adjustment of power factor. No generation of harmonics. Is not affected by harmonics. Expected life almost 25 years. Low maintenance; only periodic bearing greasing is necessary. 2. METHODOLOGY AND SYSTEM MODEL The design aims at measuring the phase angle between voltage and current continuously, calculating the power factor of the circuit from the phase angle and a correction action is initialized to compensate this phase difference by synchronous condenser using the proposed control scheme. 14 Figure 1: System Model The principle of operation:- Current Transformer (CT) and Potential Transformer (PT) step down the voltage and current level. The output of CT and PT are given as input for Zero Crossing Detector (ZCD). ZCD converts sinusoidal voltage and current wave from CT and PT into square wave.
4 Two square waves corresponding to voltage and current are given to the input of XOR gate. If there is a phase difference between two inputs of XOR gate, the output of the XOR gate remains high for a period equal to that phase difference. The output of XOR is given as the input of microcontroller. Microcontroller calculates the phase difference between them as well as power factor. According to the difference between measured power factor and desired power factor, microcontroller generates control signal and controls the dc excitation current of synchronous condenser. LCD module is connected to AVR microcontroller. The system power factor can be monitored by LCD. This process continues until the measured power factor equals the desired power factor. 3. CONTROL SCHEME Microcontroller ATmega32 has been used here. The pin diagram, features, internal architectures of microcontroller are available from standard datasheet of ATmega32. The control scheme can be divided into two sections: 3.1. Power factor calculation The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing, wave generation and signal timing measurement. The timer/counter incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events and give them a time-stamp indicating time of occurrence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple events, can be applied via the ICP pin of microcontroller Let, CLK CPU = 4MHz Pre-scale=8 CLK timer = (4 MHz)/8 = 500 khz T timer =1/(500 khz)= 2µs 15 So, 2µs is needed to count pulse 1. 10ms is needed to count pulse = (10ms *1)/2µs = 5000 So, maximum pulse value=5000. The input to the ICP pin is shown in Figure 2. Microcontroller detects its falling or rising edge as declared in the program. The timer value from one falling edge to next rising edge is taken first. Now this value is subtracted from the maximum pulse value [5]. This is the timer value of displacement between voltage and current. XOR Output Figure 2: Output from XOR logic gate Now, from the main signal we get, 10ms is equal to displacement = radian 1µs is equal to displacement = (3.1516/10000) radian = radian Now, pulse width, t= 2µs*(5000-clock number) Angle, α = *2µs*(5000-clock number) radian = *(5000-clock number) radian Power factor = cos(α). Here clock number is variable depending on the signal. Power factor can be easily calculated by this method Generation of control signal Power factor of the system is calculated continuously by using an infinite loop and it is compared to desired power factor. After comparison necessary control signal is generated at the output port of microcontroller. The timer value increases to a certain limit. It looks like a ramp signal. There is a preset value of OCR (Output Compare Register). It continuously compares timer value and OCR value and gives corresponding pulse width modulation. If power factor is less than the desired value then OCR value is changed and
5 pulse width is also changed according to the difference between actual power factor and desired power factor Algorithm An Algorithm is developed to make ATmega32 read the input and respond accordingly. An algorithm of the control scheme is shown in Figure 5 Start Detect the falling edge of ICP Reset Timer Detect rising edge of ICP Read Timer value Subtract timer value from maximum pulse value Figure 3 shows the comparison of timer value and preset OCR value and Figure 4 shows the PWM output. OCR Value Figure 3: Comparison of Timer value with preset OCR value PWM Output Figure 4: PWM Output Timer Value 4. EXPERIMENTAL RESULT Figure 6 shows the complete simulation circuit of this thesis work, here power factor is measured continuously and required PWM signal is generated. Figure 7 shows the PWM signal generated from microcontroller. t t Convert pulse into phase displacement angle Calculate pf yes If pf<0.98 no Increment OCR value Figure 5: Program Algorithm Figure 6: Simulation of PWM generation The control signal for power factor correction is the pulse width modulation (PWM) is 16
6 generated by microcontroller, which controls the gate pulse of thyristor[6]. The thyristor controls the dc excitation of the synchronous condenser to improve the power factor. 6. FUTURE WORK To control the excitation of the synchronous condenser with the power system is not a very easy task. Various easy ways can be developed to change the speed of the condenser in order to change the excitation of the condenser. Besides, other control device such as PLC can be used for PF calculation and correction. Here the practical implementation of the correction scheme has not been possible. For implementation, proper calculation is necessary because the excitation control is very sensitive at all. Figure 7: Simulation of generated PWM signal 5. CONCLUSION The paper shows a well-organized technique for power factor calculation and correction. Here PF calculation has been done practically but correction technique has been given theoretically because of high cost of synchronous condenser. In high voltage systems it is necessary to use synchronous condenser instead of capacitor bank because of long life of condenser. Here power factor of the line is continuously monitored through the microcontroller. So it is a time saving technique and required controlled signal is produced automatically for correction. The technique is also very economical in comparison with capacitor bank. So a variable speed synchronous condenser can be used in any high voltage transmission line to improve power factor & the speed of synchronous condenser can be controlled by microcontroller through the thyristor. 17 REFERENCES [1] V.K.Mehta, Rohit Mehta, Principles Of Power System, 4 th Edition, S.Chand and Company Ltd.
