Overview
This module aims to provide participants with the in-depth knowledge of the different power quality and reliability problems commonly encountered in power system network and their effects on the networks. Participants will also learn about the different technologies that are used by the power industry to mitigate power quality and reliability problems. The theories taught in the lecture will be complemented by hands-on practice using industrial standard computer-aided engineering software such as ETAP. Techniques on the analysis of real-world power quality and reliability problems are also emphasised in this module.
What You’ll Learn
Concept of Power Quality and Reliability (PQR)
- Causes of PQR problems; power quality versus reliability; PQR terms and definitions, power quality standards.
Voltage Fluctuations and Variations
- Overvoltages, voltage sag caused by starting of induction motor, switching of reactive compensation devices in power systems, fault induced voltage sags, power system reliability indicators including SAIFI, SAIDI, SARFI.
Harmonic Distortions
- Significance of harmonic distortions, Fourier series and analysis, harmonic indices, harmonic sources, effects of harmonics, system voltage harmonics, harmonic currents, interharmonics, modelling of harmonic voltage and current sources in ETAP, harmonic load flow study in ETAP.
Power Quality and Reliability Improvement Techniques
- Power conditioning equipment such as UPS, DVRs, SVCs and STATCOMS, grounding, power quality surveys, power quality monitoring, power quality measuring tools, motor starting methods, harmonic filter selection in ETAP.
Who Should Attend
- Engineers working in power and energy sector;
- Railway electrical power supply and propulsion professionals;
- Electrical and electronic engineering professionals;
- Researchers and educators in electrical engineering and urban sustainability-related areas;
