Power Quality and Reliability

The Power Quality and Reliability training course, held in Los Angeles, United States, addresses critical issues surrounding power quality degradation that can lead to inefficiencies, increased downtime risks, and elevated energy costs. With the rise of non-linear and challenging loads in modern electrical networks, the course focuses on the importance of maintaining strict grid codes and power quality standards to ensure the reliability of electrical systems. Participants will learn about the various challenges posed by sensitive operations, irregular loads, and weaker grids, which necessitate a comprehensive understanding of power quality issues for smooth industrial and commercial processes.Throughout the course, attendees will delve into key topics including the effects of fault clearing on voltage stability and the analysis of AC power and steady-state voltage regulation. Participants will gain insights into common power quality and reliability terminology, assess the impact of voltage sags on sensitive electrical equipment, and comprehend the influence of fault clearing on voltage stability. The course will also cover how to calculate and utilize standardized reliability indices, understand the sources of transient overvoltages, and specify appropriate arresters. Additionally, participants will explore the production of harmonics and learn effective mitigation strategies. By the end of the training, attendees will have a robust understanding of AC power components and their relationship with voltage regulation, equipping them with the necessary skills to enhance power systems and meet customer expectations.
