Poor power quality is any variation in an electrical power supply which results in mal-operation or premature failure of equipment. The variations can be caused, for example, by voltage disturbances such as voltage dips, over voltages and their effects can range from the annoying, such as PC shutting down or lights flickering, to serious equipment damage and industrial production being halted, which can be extremely costly.
This introductory course will explore current requirements covering power quality, typical causes of power disturbance, their likely effects and the impact they will have on operations. Parallel workshops will demonstrate power quality measuring instruments and allow hands on setting, downloads and analysis of some of the typical disturbances. The final session will examine solutions to power quality problems such as voltage regulation, harmonic distortion, and voltage dip mitigation.
The course presenters have many years’ experience solving operational problems on power systems in a variety of applications in the industrial, commercial and utility sectors.
Topics to be covered are:
Day One
· Introduction to power quality
· Monitoring equipment and functionality
· Conducting a power quality survey
· Introduction to power quality instruments
· Power quality instrument application workshop.
Day two
· Data analysis
· Harmonics and G5/4 survey
· Solutions to power quality problems
Voltage regulation
Harmonic distortion
Voltage dip mitigation.
