"Power Quality-Major Issues and Future Trends"
Course Duration: 2 - 3 November 2009 ( 2 days )
Venue: UNITEN Putrajaya Campus
This two-day course will present an overview of major Power Quality issues facing modern industry, electrical power utilities and generation companies operating in the environment where increased portion of the electricity is generated by renewable energy sources connected to low(er) voltage distribution networks. Sources, and consequences of the most frequent Power Quality problems, as well as the methods for their mitigation will be addressed and the financial consequences of inadequate quality of electricity supply discussed in detail.
Scope and Objectives
The course is designed to give technicians, engineers and managers a solid understanding of the major Power Quality issues facing customers and operators of modern electrical power systems with substantial penetration of distributed generation. The following topics will be addressed:
- Power Quality in networks with DG - importance, terms and definitions
- Overview of distributed generation technologies (renewable and conventional) and major issues with those
- Sources, consequences and mitigation of voltage variations in networks with DG
- Sources, consequences and mitigation of harmonics in networks with DG
- Guidelines for monitoring Power Quality
- Brief overview of major Power Quality standards
