Automated Power Factor Correction Through Microcontroller in Energy Sector

Presently, the energy sector is more important for everyone according to consumption, production, distribution, and monitoring. So this study mainly focuses on the improvement of the power factor through fully automated. This paper introduces a system, which is based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This system works fully automated with improvements in power factor and also monitors the consumption of energy, which will accurately calculate all the parametrical data to display such as power, current, power factor consumption etc. The parametrical data can be accessed and obtained from the wireless technology Through the IoT Blink platform with a Web server. The parametrical data measurement and monitoring through the Controller unit, which is calculated and transmitted to the bank of capacitors through the relays compensates for the lagging power factor in this system. In the end the show the result of the correction in power factor, can be more efficient monitored the power losses and consumption in energy.
