Training Course Overview

Power quality plays a crucial role in the reliability of electrical equipment, its performance, and its service life. As power quality issues have gained more attention due to deterioration and failure to meet customer expectations, it is clear that poor power quality can lead to lower efficiency, higher risk of downtime, and increased energy and operating costs.

To prevent unplanned shutdowns caused by power quality problems, the simplest and most effective approach is to address voltage anomalies from the grid. This can be done using harmonic filters, capacitors, and other protective equipment.

The rise of non-linear and other complex loads in modern electrical networks introduces unique power quality challenges. Sensitive operations, irregular loads, and weaker or isolated grids require stricter grid codes and power quality standards to maintain the reliability of the electrical system for seamless industrial and commercial activities. Harmonic distortions, voltage fluctuations, poor power factor, and load imbalance are key factors that not only challenge the reliability of modern electrical systems but also increase overall system losses. This Power Quality and Reliability training course will ensure your power systems meet customer expectations.

This training course will feature:

  • Basic terminology and definitions
  • Voltage sags and interruptions
  • Effects of fault clearing on voltage
  • Reliability indices
  • Transient overvoltages and arresters
  • Understanding and mitigating harmonics
  • Analysis of AC power and steady-state voltage regulation

Training Course Objectives

By the end of This Power Quality and Reliability training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand common power quality and reliability terms
  • Know how to assess the impact of voltage sags on sensitive electrical equipment
  • Comprehend the influence of fault clearing on voltage stability
  • Calculate and use standardized reliability indices
  • Understand the sources of transient overvoltages and be able to specify arresters
  • Know why harmonics are produced and be able to implement mitigation methods
  • Analyze the components of AC power and understand the relationship with voltage regulation

Designed for

This Power Quality and Reliability training course is designed for utility, plant, or consulting engineers and technicians who work with transmission or distribution systems, or facilities that utilize electrical power. If you are beginning a career or assignment in these areas, this training course will be of value to you. Those responsible for improving system reliability or resolving power quality issues will find this training course especially helpful. Topics will begin at the fundamental level and move to more advanced content as the training course progresses. Prerequisites include a basic understanding of three-phase power systems.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Engineers and technicians new to the power industry
  • Intermediate-level engineers and technicians who seek to improve system reliability
  • Professionals involved with the assessment of power quality
  • Facility engineers and consultants responsible for mitigating power quality issues
  • Engineers tasked with monitoring system performance and reliability

Learning Methods

This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented. These methods include workshops where attendees practice solving problems (bring a scientific calculator), case studies where concepts covered are applied to real-world situations, and simulations and animations to visually illustrate what would otherwise be abstract concepts in a novel and intuitive manner.
