What is Power Factor?

Understanding the Key to

Efficient Electricity

Power Factor (PF) measures how efficiently electrical power is converted into useful work. A low PF means much of your electricity is wasted as reactive power — typically caused by inductive loads like motors and compressors. This inefficiency leads to higher bills, heat losses, and reduced equipment lifespan.

  • High PF ensures lower electricity costs and improved efficiency.
  • Low PF causes surcharges and wasted power usage.
  • BTESB’s PFCS-Binatenaga corrects and maintains ideal PF at 0.96–0.98.
  • Enhances equipment lifespan and stabilizes voltage.

1. Cost Saving
  • Initial Power Assessment to determine reactive power composition (incoming &
    outgoing level)
  • Precise kVAr compensation at all level
  • Remedial & preventive maintenance readied especially for large power consumer
    and solar users. Remedial & preventive can be extended throughout power purchase
    agreement (PPA) period
  • Replacement of capacitor bank cylinder will heavily depends on load resistance and equipment lifespan. Many
    inductive-based facility and buildings facing a shorter replacement period (1 1/2, 1, 3/4 years). This will increase
    OPEX provisions.
  • Upgrading of current transformer for large power consumer normally cannot be avoided due to the an uprising
    trend of load demand (kVa). Consequently need a CAPEX provisions.
  • Low PF unit at outgoing level distribution will shorten equipment lifespan which will increase an OPEX for
    maintenance and reduced CAPEX cycle.
  • PFCS Binatenaga compensation at outgoing unit find the best combination of V x A x PF x H (kWh)
    An integration between macro (incoming level) & micro (outgoing level) will sustain overall Power Factor in the long run.
  • Wye (Star-Delta) Connection Capacitor
  • Prevent under and over compensation issues
  • Var compensation different each phase by PFCS-Binatenaga
  • Suite with the involvement of tnb smart meter

Impact

  • Ampere reduction increases available voltage capacity.
  • Reducing reactive power in distribution lines frees up capacity, allowing the
    system to deliver more active power.

Reliability

  • Stabilizes voltage across the network, preventing nuisance tripping.
  • Protects sensitive equipment from fluctuations and overheating.
  • Improves overall electrical system performance and uptime.

Scalability

  • Modular design allows phased installation at sub-DBs or outgoing feeders.
  • Suitable for small factories to large malls, data centers, and industrial plants.
  • Flexible capacity expansion without major reworks
General Guideline for Solar Installation
  • Dual energy sources (grid + solar) can lower overall power factor.
  • Low power factor will impact other power issues such as voltage swing/fluctuation
  • Impact on users: Higher utility bills due to PF surcharges and getting low quality load
  • Internal grid issue: Low PF at the output stage reduces solar efficiency.
  • User concern: Many were not informed about solar’s effect on power factor

The 72kWp power assessment will not only address power factor issues but also anticipate and mitigate potential high fault levels (HFL) and voltage fluctuations.

  • Integrated Compensation: PFCS-Binatenaga supports both incoming and outgoing levels.
  • Target Users: Medium-to-large premises with solar PV.
  • JKR TBOR Guidance:
    • Individual correction → reduces distribution loading & improves voltage regulation.
    • Central correction → simplifies supervision with automatic control.
  • Combined Approach: Delivers practical, efficient, and flexible compensation without extra
    switchgear.
Integrating IEC 61727 & IEEE 1547-2018 Requirements with PFCS for Grid Stability

SUMMARY:
IEC 61727 sets the baseline for acceptable PV system power factor,
IEEE 1547-2018 adds the flexibility for grid support,
and a PFCS ensures both compliance and stability in real-world condition.
