Power Quality and Harmonics

23-09-2024 - 27-09-2024 3800 Dubai

 

Course Introduction:

 

The Power Quality and Harmonics course combines extensive study experience to familiarize attendees with the terminology and concepts to evaluate power quality. The course reviews the causes of various types of power quality problems in commercial and industrial environments. The effect of these problems on power system components and end-user equipment will also be addressed. Commercially-available tools for identifying these problems will be discussed and demonstrated, as well as how to interpret their results.

The effects of harmonics on various power system components and methods of reducing excessive harmonics will also be addressed. IEEE recommendations, National Electric Code requirements are also emphasized in this course.

Mitigation techniques for power quality problems will be studied, including the use of K-factor rated transformers, full neutrals and harmonic filters. The operational principles of uninterruptible power supplies will be discussed along with consideration for their sizing and applications. Other emergency back-up systems will also be addressed.

At the end of the course the attendees would gain good knowledge and skills to deal with power quality and harmonics problems. The attendees would be aware of the new trends in monitoring and solving these problems. Thus, they would participate in increasing the level of the electric network reliability, and reduce liability of the outage of the electric power service. 


Course Objectives:

 

Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:

Ø  Understand the causes of various types of power quality problems in commercial and industrial environments

Ø  Recognize the cause and source of power system disturbances.

Ø  Define the various equipment’s used for power monitoring.

Ø  Know how to mitigate any existing and potential problems, thereby minimizing equipment disoperation and process downtime.

Ø  Analyze types of electrical systems loads and their power quality considerations.

Ø  Calculate harmonic voltages and currents

 

Organizational Impact:

Attendees will have new knowledge and techniques about power quality and harmonics in electric power systems. This will allow them to understand and implement the requirements for monitoring, analysing and mitigating power quality and harmonics problems in their organisations.

This will help the organisation to improve its effectiveness in ensuring a compliant and reliable electrical service.
