I have made a circuit in Proteus with the PIC16F887 for measuring the voltage, current , power and also power factor and display them on the LCD. In the circuit, the L1 and R5 can be any value as it is just a value for the load connected to the circuit.

I was wondering if I were to place some relays and capacitor in parallel with the load to correct the power factor, what changes would I need to make in the circuit and the source code?

PS: I have included the software and circuit in the Proteus file.

 

Hey guy, I need your help on design my final project and I don't know where to start. It's a smart power factor correction using PIC16F887, I already have current sensor, voltage sensor, and LCD etc all I need is a proteus and a code. I'm using Mikro pro for Pic as a compiler

You should post your request in the Homework Help forum, having first read the rules - the first if which is: it's Homework Help not Homework Do it for me.

So in that spirit, think about and/or research what is 'power factor', and how do you measure it - what you can't measure, you can't manage. Then post your thoughts.

I'll see you over on Homework Help. By the way, final project on what course/academic level/where?
