Power Factor ConsiderationsAtOpen Pit Coal MinesNovember 16, 2006By:Electrical Systems Consultants, Inc.Jerry Hager, P.E.Mark Galey, P.E.
DEFINITION OF POWER FACTORDEFINITION OF POWER FACTOR
•• Power Factor = is the ratio of real Power Factor = is the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent powerpower (kW) to apparent power
cos θkVAkWFactorPower ==
BENEFITS OF POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
There are just two benefits from power factor improvement -
Reduced losses or reduced kVA loading (not both)Voltage support (reduced voltage drop)
REDUCED KVA LOADING
• Most facilities are amp or kVA limited• Increasing power factor reduces kVA
loading and increases voltage thus reducing amp loading or resistive losses.

VOLTAGE DROP
% Voltage Drop =
2)kV(10)sinXcosR(kVA θ+θ
VOLTAGE DROP
• Note:• Voltage drop is caused by kW real power
flowing through the resistance to electric source (generator) and
• Reactive (lagging pf) load flowing through reactance back toward electric source.
VOLTAGE DROP
Per Unit Voltage Drop Through TransformerTransformers are almost all reactive.Thus voltage drop due to reactive load.
VOLTAGE DROP
• Percent drop through transformer =
• Where:• XL = %percent impedance of transformer• kVAR = reactive load• kV = line-to-line voltage

Transformer = 10 MVA at 6% Impedance
Load = 8 MW and 6 MVAR at 10 MVA
Voltage Drop = R x P + Q x XV
R = 0.06 / 11 = 0.00545 pu X = 0.06 x cos 85 o = 0.05229 pu
Voltage Drop = 0.00545 x 0.8 + 0.05229 x 0.6
= 0.00436 + 0.03137 pu
= 0.0357 or 3.157%
