This paper focuses on the design and implementation of power factor correction and voltage regulation using microcontroller(AT 89C51) by determining the power factor of the loaded power system, and generating proper action to calculate and add sufficient reactive power to various types of load.The transmission of electrical energy using AC started at the end of the 19th century and replaced smaller existing local DC distribution systems. By extending local supply areas and providing energy transfer over longer distances various problems regarding mainly voltage control and stability were observed caused mainly by reactive power unbalances in the systems. Switched reactive power compensation (shunt capacitors, shunt reactors) were primarily used to control the steady state system voltages. In AC transmission systems CAPACITOR INDUCTOR BANKs are installed presently. With further improvement of controls, development of semiconductors and new arrangements of VSC technology to-days reactive power compensation is a key method to establish a reliable AC power transmission. This paper is based on fact that when the strategy of using many, small distributed CAPACITOR INDUCTOR BANK located at distribution buses is more advantageous than a few large bulk CAPACITOR INDUCTOR BANK located at the transmission or sub-transmission bus.
