BACKGROUND
The significance of power factor (PF) correction is reflected in the large number of documents addressing this subject, in the engineering design effort, and in the numerous industrial plants that manufacture equipment for the control of reactive power and filtering of current harmonics [l]. Some of the benefits derived from correct PF adjustment are:
1. reduced energy loss;
2. released generation, transmission, distribution, and substation capacity.
3. reduced voltage drop and improved voltage regulation.etc
