On Power Factor Improvement by Series Compensation: A Cyclodissipativity Framework

Resumen: This paper presents a reformulation of the power factor compensation problem by series compensation for alternating current power systems with ideal distorted sources. In particular, it establishes that power factor improvement for nonlinear loads with nonsinusoidal (but periodic) source voltage is equivalent to imposing a certain cyclodissipativity condition to the compensated system. Applications of the framework are illustrated through a simple linear example.
