  • Abstract
    Power factor correction is investigated under the assumption of using a fractional-order capacitor. The effects of the fractional order of the capacitor on real and reactive source power, as well as on the value of the correcting capacitance are analyzed. Theoretical analysis supplemented by numerical simulations are presented, and an example is given.
