The electrical energy supplied to industrial consists of an active (userful) part used to transform electrical energy into another form of energy (mechanical, thermal, …) and a reactive part necessary for magnetic and capacitve uses. The main concern here is to produce reactive energy in the industrial plant of Congo-Oil company in order to minimize the power passed through the pipes and the load rate of the electrical power supply (transformer). This article proposes a reliable mathematical method to be used to compensate reactive electrical energy in an industrial enterprise with bad power factor. We find that the demand power (S) and the load ratio (Tx) àf the transformer are inversely proportional to the power factor. Also, the reactive energy (Qc) to be produced tends towards zero when the power factor progressively tens towards the unit. This method compensation allowed us to reduce the apparent power and the transformer load rate by approximately thirteen percent. (≈13%).

Abstract
The electrical energy supplied to industrial consists of an active (userful) part used to transform electrical energy into another form of energy (mechanical, thermal, …) and a reactive part necessary for magnetic and capacitve uses. The main concern here is to produce reactive energy in the industrial plant of Congo-Oil company in order to minimize the power passed through the pipes and the load rate of the electrical power supply (transformer). This article proposes a reliable mathematical method to be used to compensate reactive electrical energy in an industrial enterprise with bad power factor. We find that the demand power (S) and the load ratio (Tx) àf the transformer are inversely proportional to the power factor. Also, the reactive energy (Qc) to be produced tends towards zero when the power factor progressively tens towards the unit. This method compensation allowed us to reduce the apparent power and the transformer load rate by approximately thirteen percent. (≈13%).

Abstract: (french)
L’énergie électrique fournie aux consommateurs industriels se compose d’une partie active (utile) servant à la transformation de l’énergie électrique en une autre forme d’énergie (mécanique, thermique, …) et d’une partie réactive nécessaire aux usages magnétiques et capacitifs. La grande préoccupation ici est de produire de l’énergie réactive dans l’installation industrielle de l’entreprise Congo-Oïl afin de minimiser la puissance transitée dans les canalisations et le taux de charge de la source d’alimentation d’énergie électrique (transformateur). Cet article propose une méthode mathématique fiable à utiliser pour compenser l’énergie électrique réactive dans une entreprise industrielle à mauvais facteur de puissance. Nous constatons que la puissance demandée (S) et le taux de charge (T_x ) du transformateur sont inversement proportionnels au facteur de puissance (cosφ). Aussi, l’énergie réactive (Q_c ) à produire tend vers zéro quand le facteur de puissance tend progressivement vers l’unité. Cette méthode de compensation nous a permis une réduction de puissance apparente et du taux de charge du transformateur d’environ treize pourcent (≈13%).
