Thanks for your input. I am looking to prove it one way or another.
I understand that with pf correction, the capacity of the generator will increase.
jlazucena to answer your questions.
i have a efficiency versus apparent power plot for a 15000KVA generator. There is an increase in...
I am looking to justify the cost of installing power factor correction.
are you able to suggest a method of quantifying the reduction in mechanical input power to the generator with the drop in MVA output given a constant MW load?
regards,
Stuart
Situation:
Investigating the benefits of placing power factor correction capacitors close to the generator upon an offshore platform.
Offshore platform has a system load with a 0.8 pf
Benefit for placing the correction capacitor close to the generator is to reduce the MVAr the generator...
