摘要：An active power factor corrector (active PFC) is a power electronic device that controls the amount of reactive power drawn by a load in order to obtain a power factor as close as possible to unity. In order to reduce the power losses and to improve the stability and transmission efficiency of transmission and distribution lines, power factor correction research has become a hot topic. Many control methods for passive and active PFC were proposed. This paper describes the design and development of a sing le phase TRIAC based Static VAR Compensator for reactive power compensation and power factor correctionusing PIC (Programmable Interface Circuit) micro-controlling chip. The PIC microcontroller determines the firing pulses for the TRIAC to compensate excessive reactive co mponents, thus withdraw PF near to unity. The investigations were also carried out by using PFC at the output of a digital voltage corrector (DVC).
