Two parallel loads are connected to a 220-V, 60 Hz, single-phase source where the first load consumes power 100kW at power factor 1 and the second load consumes 100kW at power factor 0.8 lagging. By placing a bank of capacitors in parallel with the load, the resultant power factor is to be raised to 0.98 lagging. (a) Find the net capacitance of the capacitor bank in µF that is required. (b) Simulate the circuit in Matlab and verify your result.
