Distributed Energy Resources:
Power Quality Issues Mitigation and Protection

Solar and Wind Power Generation Power Quality Improvement and Protection

Course Overview

This Distributed Energy Resources: Power Quality Issues Mitigation and Protection training course will scrutinize into the power quality issues related to solar and wind renewable energy. This will include mitigation techniques and protection. In today’s context artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are inclusive in the electrical power systems power quality issues.

Challenges and mitigation of power quality issues are also present in distributed energy resources. Harmonics are a dominant component in wind and solar energy technologies. Protection against overcurrent and faults include circuit breakers and fuses. Grounding and surge protection against lightning are included in the design of wind and solar power generation. 

This Distributed Energy Resources training course will highlight: 

  • Quantifying the effects of power quality issues
  • Technologies to minimize and eliminate power quality issues associated with renewable energy
  • Optimizing power quality anlaysis
  • Electrical protection in solar arrays
  • Grounding and surge protection in wind turbines

Course Objectives

At the end of this Power Quality Issues Mitigation and Protection training course, you will learn to:  

  • Comprehend the effects of poor-quality issues
  • Understand the relationship between distributed energy resources and power quality
  • Analyse the harmonic issues
  • Design protection system for solar systems
  • Determine the impact of grounding and surge protection in wind turbines

Training Methodology

This Power Quality Issues Mitigation and Protection training course will be presented by means of Power Point slides through which all the required theory and equations will be provided. The training course also includes case studies where the participants are required to take part in class activities including system analysis, calculations, relay settings, etc. The instructor will also use training videos for better understanding of the participants. The participants will be progressively assessed during the training course via quizzes, questions, assignments, and worked examples.
