1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION:
An embedded system is a combination of software and hardware to perform a
dedicated task. Some of the main devices used in embedded products are
Microprocessors and Microcontrollers. Microprocessors are commonly referred to as
general purpose processors as they simply accept the inputs, process it and give the
output. In contrast, a microcontroller not only accepts the data as inputs but also
manipulates it, interfaces the data with various devices, controls the data and thus finally
gives the result.
1.2 PROBLEM FORMULATION:
All these tasks are possible with the microcontroller because the microcontroller
has a CP in addition to a fi!ed amount of "AM, "#M, I$# ports and timer all on a
single chip. %his fi!ed amount of "AM, "#M and number of I$# ports in microcontroller
makes them ideal for many applications where cost and space are critical.
1.3. LITERATURE SURVEY:
%he automated power factor corrector using capacitive load banks is helpful in
providing the power factor correction without manual capacitive bank loading. &arlier the
power factor correction is done by manually ad'usting the capacitive bank manually.
(ow the automated pro'ect we have done helps us to decrease the manpower and thus
helps to decrease the time taken to correct the power factor which helps to increase the
efficiency.

2.1 INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEMS:
An embedded system can be defined as a computing device that does a specificfocused 'ob. Appliances such as the air*conditioner, 2C3 player, 323 player, printer,
fa! machine, mobile phone etc. are e!amples of embedded systems. &ach of these
appliances will have a processor and special hardware to meet the specific re1uirement of
the application along with the embedded software that is e!ecuted by the processor for
meeting that specific re1uirement. %he embedded software is also called 4firm ware5.
%he desktop$laptop computer is a general purpose computer. 6ou can use it for a variety
of applications such as playing games, word processing, accounting, software
development and so on. In contrast, the software in the embedded systems is always fi!ed
listed below-
• &mbedded systems do a very specific task, they cannot be programmed to do
different things. &mbedded systems have very limited resources, particularly the
memory. 7enerally, they do not have secondary storage devices such as the
C3"#M or the floppy disk. &mbedded systems have to work against some
deadlines. A specific 'ob has to be completed within a specific time. In some
embedded systems, called real*time systems, the deadlines are stringent. Missing
a deadline may cause a catastrophe*loss of life or damage to property. &mbedded
systems are constrained for power. As many embedded systems operate through a
battery, the power consumption has to be very low.
• Some embedded systems have to operate in e!treme environmental conditions
such as very high temperatures and humidity.
2.2 APPLICATION AREAS:
(early 88 per cent of the processors manufactured end up in embedded systems.
%he embedded system market is one of the highest growth areas as these systems are

to integrate the application software with the operating system and then transfer the entire
software on to the memory chip. #nce the software is transferred to the memory chip, the
software will continue to run for a long time you don9t need to reload new software.

%he Central Processing nit +processor, in short can be any of the following-
microcontroller, microprocessor or 3igital Signal Processor +3SP. A micro*controller is
a low*cost processor. Its main attraction is that on the chip itself, there will be many other
components such as memory, serial communication interface, analog*to digital converter
etc. So, for small applications, a micro*controller is the best choice as the number of
e!ternal components re1uired will be very less. #n the other hand, microprocessors are
more powerful, but you need to use many e!ternal components with them. 3?P is used
mainly for applications in which signal processing is involved such as audio and video

3. MICRO CONTROLLERS
3.1 INTRODUCTION:
Microprocessors and microcontrollers are widely used in embedded systems
products. Microcontroller is a programmable device. A microcontroller has a CP in
addition to a fi!ed amount of "AM, "#M, I$# ports and a timer embedded all on a single
chip. %he fi!ed amount of on*chip "#M, "AM and number of I$# ports in
microcontrollers makes them ideal for many applications in which cost and space are
critical.
%he Intel F;?@ is a Darvard architecture, single chip microcontroller +GC which
was developed by Intel in @8F; for use in embedded systems. It was popular in the @8F;s
and early @88;s, but today it has largely been superseded by a vast range of enhanced
devices with F;?@*compatible processor cores that are manufactured by more than :;
independent manufacturers including Atmel, Infineon %echnologies and Ma!im
Integrated Products.
F;?@ is an F*bit processor, meaning that the CP can work on only F bits of data
at a time. 3ata larger than F bits has to be broken into F*bit pieces to be processed by the
CP. F;?@ is available in different memory types such as 2*&P"#M, )lash and (2*
"AM.
%he microcontroller used in this pro'ect is A%F8C?@. Atmel Corporation
introduced this F8C?@ microcontroller. %his microcontroller belongs to F;?@ family. %his
microcontroller had @:F bytes of "AM, EH bytes of on*chip "#M, two timers, one serial
port and four ports +each F*bits wide all on a single chip. A%F8C?@ is )lash type F;?@.
%he present pro'ect is implemented on Heil vision. In order to program the
device, Proload tool has been used to burn the program onto the microcontroller.

on a monolithic chip, the Atmel A%F8C?@ is a powerful microcomputer, which provides
a highly fle!ible and cost*effective solution to many embedded control applications.
In addition, the A%F8C?@ is designed with static logic for operation down to <ero
fre1uency and supports two software selectable power saving modes. %he Idle Mode
stops the CP while allowing the "AM, timer$counters, serial port and interrupt system
to continue functioning. %he power*down mode saves the "AM contents but free<es the
oscillator disabling all other chip functions until the ne!t hardware reset.

Proload is software which accepts only he! files. #nce the machine code is
converted into he! code, that he! code has to be dumped into the microcontroller and this
is done by the Proload. Proload is a programmer which itself contains a microcontroller
in it other than the one which is to be programmed. %his microcontroller has a program in
it written in such a way that it accepts the he! file from the keil compiler and dumps this
he! file into the microcontroller which is to be programmed. As the proload programmer
kit re1uires power supply to be operated, this power supply is given from the power
supply circuit designed above. It should be noted that this programmer kit contains a
power supply section in the board itself but in order to switch on that power supply, a
source is re1uired. %hus this is accomplished from the power supply board with an output
of @:volts.
4.4 LIUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY:
/C3 stands for Li1uid Crystal Display. /C3 is finding wide spread use replacing
/&3s +seven segment /&3s or other multi segment /&3s because of the following
reasons-
@. %he declining prices of /C3s.
:. %he ability to display numbers, characters and graphics. %his is in contrast to
/&3s, which are limited to numbers and a few characters.
. Incorporation of a refreshing controller into the /C3, thereby relieving the CPof the task of refreshing the /C3. In contrast, the /&3 must be refreshed by the
CP to keep displaying the data.

there are F* bit and E*bit /C3 modes. %he appropriate mode is determined at the
beginning of the process in a phase called 4initiali<ation5. In the first case, the data are
transferred through outputs 3;*3 as it has been already e!plained. In case of E*bit /&3
mode, for the sake of saving valuable I$# pins of the microcontroller, there are only E
higher bits +3E*3 used for communication, while other may be left unconnected.
Conse1uently, each data is sent to /C3 in two steps- four higher bits are sent first
+that normally would be sent through lines 3E*3, four lower bits are sent afterwards.

when the relay coil is switched off. %he above diagram shows how a signal diode +eg
@(E@EF is connected across the relay coil to provide this protection. %he diode is
connected backwards so that it will normally not conduct. Conduction occurs only when

through the coil and it is safely diverted through the diode. ithout the diode no current
could flow and the coil would produce a damaging high voltage spike in its attempt to
keep the current flowing.

)or the relay to be operated, coil should be energi<ed i.e., current should flow
through the coil. %hus, a voltage difference should e!ist between the terminals for the
current to flow through the coil. #ne terminal of the coil will be connected to the power
supply +?2 and the other terminal is connected to the microcontroller. %hus when a ;
+<ero is applied to the other terminal of the relay, voltage difference e!ists and the
current flows and thus the coil will be energi<ed. %herefore, the relay will be operated
and the load will be applied.
0ut, the microcontroller cannot provide the sufficient current re1uired for the
relay coil to be energi<ed. %herefore, a power transistor or an /( driver should be
connected between the microcontroller and the relay. Power transistor can be connected
as the current driver but if more number of relays are re1uired to operate the loads, /(
driver is the best choice.

. LOAD BANKS
.1 I!-&#+-)!
A load bank is a device which develops an electric load, applies the load to
an electrical power source and converts or dissipates the resultant power output of the
source.
Department of EEE 59
8/13/2019 Automatic Power Factor Corrector Using Capacitive Load Bank2
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/automatic-power-factor-corrector-using-capacitive-load-bank2 60/67
R.V.R Institute of Engg. & Tech.
%he purpose of a load bank is to accurately mimic the operational or 4real5 load
that a power source will see in actual application. Dowever, unlike the 4real5 load, which
is likely to be dispersed, unpredictable and random in value, a load bank provides a
contained, organi<ed and fully controllable load.
Conse1uently, a load bank can be further defined as a self*contained, uniti<ed,
systematic device that includes load elements with control and accessory devices re1uired
for operation.
hereas the 4real5 load is served by the power source and uses the energy output
of the source for some productive purpose, the load bank serves the power source, using
its energy output to test, support or protect the power source.
7.2 Applications:
/oad banks are used in a variety of applications, including-
• )actory testing of engine ie/el generator sets
• %o reduce wet /tacing problems
• Periodic e!ercising of stand*by engine generator sets
• #) /y/tem testing
• ,attery system testing
• 7round power testing
• /oad optimi<ation in prime power applications
• )actory testing of trine
• "emove carbon build*up on the piston heads
.3 Types of load bank:

R.V.R Institute of Engg. & Tech.
%he three most common types of load banks are resistive load banks, reactive
load banks, and capacitive load banks.
.3.1 R%")"-)<% (* @*!:
A resistive load bank, the most common type, provides e1uivalent loading of
both generor and primemover. %hat is, for each kilowatt load applied to the generator by
the load bank, an e1ual amount of load is applied to the prime mover by the generator. A
resistive load bank, therefore, removes energy from the complete system- load bank from
generatorYgenerator from prime moverYprime mover from fuel. Additional energy is
removed as a conse1uence of resistive load bank operation- waste heat from coolant,
e!haust and generator losses and energy consumed by accessory devices. A resistive load
bank impacts upon all aspects of a generating system.
%he 4load5 of a resistive load bank is created by the conversion of electrical
energy to heat via high*current resistors such as grid resistors. %his heat must be
dissipated from the load bank, either by air or by water, by forced means or convection.
In a testing system, a resistive load simulates real*life resistive loads, such as
incandescent and heating loads as well as the resistive or unity power factor component
of magnetic +motors, transformers loads.
.3.2 R%*+-)<% (* @*!:
A 4reactive5 load includes inductive +lagging power factor and$or capacitive
+leading power factor loads.
Inductive loads, the more common type, consist of iron*core reactive elements
which, when used in con'unction with a resistive load bank, create a lagging power factor
load. %ypically, the inductive load will be rated at a numeric value ?W that of the
corresponding resistive load such that when applied together a resultant ;.F power factor
load is provided. %hat is to say, for each @;; k of resistive load, ? H2A" of inductive
load is provided.

#ther ratios are possible to obtain other power factor ratings. Inductive loads are
used to simulate real*life mi!ed commercial loads consisting of lighting, heating, motors,
transformers, etc. ith a resistive$inductive load bank, full power system testing is
possible, given the impact of reactive currents on generator$voltage regulator
performance as well as effects on conductors and switchgear.
.3.3 C*'*+)-)<% (* @*!
A capacitive load bank is similar to a reactive load bank in rating and purpose,
e!cept leading power factor loads are created. %hese loads simulate certain electronic or
non*linear loads typical of telecommunications, computer or PS industries

company rid of from the power losses while the consumer free from low power factor
penalty charges.
0y installing suitably si<ed power capacitors into the circuit the Power )actor is
improved and the value becomes nearer to ;.8 to ;.8? thus minimising line losses and
improving the efficiency of a plan.
0y using this AP)C system the efficiency of the system is highly increased.
6.2. FUTURE SCOPE OF THE WORK:
%he automotive power factor correction using capacitive load banks is very
efficient as it reduces the cost by decreasing the power drawn from the supply and as it
operates automatically men are not re1uired to operate this ,so this Automated Power
factor Correction using capacitive load banks must be used for the industries purpose in
the future.
