COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES A Study OF POWER FACTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT CARD IN KHARTOUM NORTH POWER STATION

Abstract

Power factor is considered as a basic factor in the AC power systems. Due to that most of recent studies concentrate on power factor control by designing circuits of control systems so as to conserve the level of it. This research is a study of power factor control circuit card in generation systems by using the software simulation program (Orcad p-spice) to realize the actual result of the controller of power factor by the computer program, for the following reasons: First, the faults which occur in the power factor control cards, due to the dust and heat in Sudan atmosphere. If one component of the card is damaged, the card should be replaced by a new one which is not available locally. These cards cost much money and time. Second, to encourage the local industries to design and reprint the electronic Circuits in the printed circuit boards (PCB).
