This paper presents the design and experimental implementation of a smart power factor metering system to measure the fractional order power factor of a load. The variation of grid frequency or power factor (PF) increases the utility charges. The proposed design provides an accurate PF measurement by using a real-time AC power triangle. The system is designed by proposing a novel embedded system based controller that enables reading the main-line frequency, load voltage, current and their phase differences. A converter is designed first to transform the high voltage and current to the controller. The converter consists of a potential transformer, a current transformer, high differential strobe terminal based comparator and a logic gate that detects the phase delay between the load voltages and currents. A set of parallel capacitors are interconnected with the load terminal for improved PF measurement. The improved power factor confirms the saving of the utility charges for inductive loads. The simulation and experimental results are demonstrated to validate the effectiveness of proposed metering system.

Many schemes were attempted to lessenthe time taken for measuring the power factor of a linear load. This paper suggests taking advantage of a previous paper where only two samples of the voltage and current were adequate to have a very fast calculation method of the power factor. That scheme used a phase locked loop (PLL) as a frequency multiplier scheme to acquire two progressive samples of the voltage and current which are concurrent. The time elapsed for measurement was the reciprocal of the PLL sampling frequency; no further scheme was reported after that to claim a faster method. This paper gets use of that work to get two progressive samples of voltage and current separated by a short time. The scheme is frequency independent with an indication for lead lag. All the operations are executed by a PIC microcontroller rather than a computer with few support circuits. The output will be shown either in digital or analogue (DC) form. The percentage of error depends mainly on the resolution (number of bits) for both the ADC and DAC used.
