This Power Quality, Harmonics Mitigation & Reactive Power Management training course provides an important insight into power quality issues including power harmonics, nonlinear loads, voltage symmetry, waveform analysis, and harmonics mitigation techniques.   

The ever increasing advancement of semiconductor-based power electronic devices and nonlinear loads, as well as rapid integration of non-conventional energy sources into grid networks can create harmful power quality issues in industrial systems and utility grids. To name a few, power electronic equipment, data servers, variable speed drivers, arc furnaces, big machines such as heavy-duty cranes, lifters, motor-driven conveyor belts, and large numbers of fluorescent lamps can cause catastrophic power quality issues in electrical power systems.

Electric parameters such as frequency and voltage magnitude / waveform / symmetry are normally influenced by the variations of load during normal system operation. These characteristics are also affected by system disturbances - e.g. harmonic distortion and voltage fluctuations - generated by certain equipment, and also by electric faults such as arc flash or switching transient overvoltages.

Voltage and frequency fluctuations as well as waveform distortion and power harmonics are major power quality problems. Therefore, continuous monitoring, detection, and recording of power quality indicators is required to ensure a safe, reliable, and cost-effective power network.

This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:

  • Power Quality (PQ) Major Concepts
  • Power System Disturbances Due to PQ Issues
  • Power System Voltage Reliability and Security
  • Power Harmonics and the Associated Harmful Effects on Power Systems
  • Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
  • Grounding Loops
  • Harmonics Monitoring and Mitigation Techniques
  • Surge Protection

At the end of this Power Quality, Harmonics Mitigation & Reactive Power Management training course, you will learn to:

  • Interpret and analyze power quality related incidents
  • Explain how power quality issues can adversely affect power system reliability
  • Explain harmonics mitigation techniques
  • Discuss about grounding loops and bonding
  • Discuss the criteria for harmonics filtering and mitigation

This Power Quality, Harmonics Mitigation & Reactive Power Management training course will be presented by means of Power Point slides through which all the required theory and equations will be provided. This 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 course via quizzes, questions, assignments, and worked examples.

On successful completion of this Power Quality, Harmonics Mitigation & Reactive Power Management, the organizational impact would be:

  • Develop a structured approach and perception of power quality issues
  • Ensure safe operation of electrical equipment and installations
  • Become familiar with the destructive effects of power harmonics on electric networks
