Minimization of Power Factor Penalty Charges for Non-Linear Domestic Loads with IOT Technology

Abstract

Abstract This Paper is dealt about the Power factor plays a major role for improving the quality of the power supply and also used to measure the system’s power efficiency. Existing solution is for automatic correction of power factor and it does not provide an information about load causing poor power factor. In proposed system, the status of domestic load are monitored and it intimate the power factor range of the concern load utilization. By using Microcontroller Arduino IDE, Developing a program for calculation action for the project is to dumped in it. The simulation results were obtained using the Proteus software and the penalty charge for the different power factor values was obtained using the program dumped in the Arduino Uno controller. The power factor range of the concern loads utilization was intimated to the consumer through IoT.
