Introduction

This Power System Harmonics Analysis, Mitigation, and Solution Strategies training course features hands-on sessions and exercises. Participants will apply theoretical knowledge using our advanced simulators. The course offers a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of power system harmonics analysis, mitigation, and solution strategies. It explores topics such as harmonics and power quality, the demand for clean power, sources of harmonic distortion in industrial power systems and voltage disturbances, the effects and symptoms of harmonics, negative consequences, equipment grounding, power quality, and aspects of resilience, reliability, and redundancy.

Throughout this interactive training course, participants will gain insights into solution strategies for harmonics and power quality, including power filter topologies, harmonic reduction, mitigation, and attenuation techniques. The course will cover passive and active filter design processes, harmonics and power quality assessments, measurements, and standards. Participants will also learn about corrective actions, design solutions, reactive energy compensation, investment analysis for PQ solutions, as well as tips, application considerations, and design examples.
