[Legacy Report] Power Factor Seminar

---

The PES and IAS Chapters will sponsor a technical seminar on the topic of power factor correction. The session will be held on Friday, April 29, 2011 at PSE&G’s Hadley Road Facility, 4000 Hadley Road, South Plainfield, NJ 07080-1192.

Topic
The seminar will cover the application of power factor correction solutions with special emphasis on application issues like harmonics and switching transients. In addition, this presentation will uncover some of the unspoken truths about overstated claims with power factor correction equipment.
Topics will include:

PF Correction Basics
• Power triangle (PF analogies)
• PF penalties
• Other benefits (loss savings, capacity improvement, harmonic correction)
• Overstated Claims of some vendors (snake oil)
• Capacitors and interaction with harmonic loads (drives, etc) PF Solutions
• Fixed capacitors
• Switched capacitors
• Filters (fixed and switched)
• LV vs. MV solutions

Applications Considerations
• Harmonics
• Switching transients
• Overcompensations
