Power Factor (PF) Control Clause Samples

Power Factor (PF) Control. This control mode will work as closed-loop type control mode. In this case it uses as an input power factor information of the hybrid plant connection point with the electrical power grid. This value is compared to a power factor setpoint value that can be set by the plant operator. The controller will use the reactive power resources available in the subsystems to reach the required value. The controller in PF control mode will use only reactive power for grid power factor regulation. To do this, use the sub-systems that are currently in automatic mode to reach the setpoint value. Manual devices will be treated as negative loads. The value of the setpoint power factor may have a value of between -1 and 1. Power factor regulation will be performed in two different modes in relation to input variables. On the one hand, the power factor can be measured in real time. On the other hand, a value that results from the average of several measurements in a time window can also be used.
