Abstract

The correction of power factor in electric power systems is called
reactive power compensation. A synchronous motor is used as a capacitive
reactive power generator in compensation systems. It is less costly for an
enterprise to use a synchronous motor as both mechanical power generator and
power factor corrector, which increases their efficiency. There are various
studies on increasing the efficiency, capacity and stability of a power system
using power factor correction under different operating conditions. This study
focuses on the power factor correction of the system by controlling the
excitation current of the synchronous motor via fuzzy logic thanks to the
asynchronous motor connected to the system.
