“…Many schems were proposed to measure the power factor. Many of these schemes took a cycle of an input power line frequency for the measurement [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], while attempts in [10][11][12][13] took only a half a cycle to record the power factor. An attempt to reduce the elapsed time for measurement to about a quarter a cycle was illustrated in [14].…”

During recent years, nonlinear power electronic equipments introduce harmonic pollution on electric power systems. It makes the traditional power factor meter can not act accurately when it monitors unbalanced and harmonic loads. In this paper, a new algorithm for detecting the power factor in presence of non-sinusoidal load current is proposed. The proposed algorithm detects the true power factor exactly. By uses only two successive sampled data points of the voltage and the current for each displacement power factor value calculation and two sampled data points for each distortion power factor value calculation, the total/true power factor becomes easy to measure using these values directly. The proposed detector implemented using microcontroller as a main part and has been tested for single phase power system. The test results show that it can measure the true power factor of the loads quickly and accurately.

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.
