Course Description
Power quality and harmonic phenomena are impacting the U.S economy more than ever. A recent study conducted by Consortium of Electric Infrastructure to Support a Digital Society (CEIDS) reveals that the U.S economy is losing between $15 billion and $24 billion to power quality and harmonic disturbances. Therefore, this short-course is aimed to equip practicing engineers with a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of these phenomena. The course will educate engineers in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating various power quality and harmonic problems. It also strikes a balance between theory and practice. Engineers will be provided with complimentary state-of-the art electromagnetic transient software to simulate various power quality and harmonic phenomena and determine the most cost effective mitigation plans.
COURSE AGENDA:
Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - Importance of PQ, issues and impacts, definitions, standards (1159), sample waveforms.
- Voltage sags. Sources of sags and interruptions, estimating voltage sag performance, utility system fault clearing, solutions at the end-use level.
Wednesday, June 23 2004 - Transient overvoltages, capacitor switching, ferroresonance, lightning.
- Motor drives, their impact on PQ, and the impact of PQ on motor drives.
Thursday, June 24 2004 - Introduction to harmonics (history, definitions, Fourier series, sources, effects, waveforms, standards, etc.)
- Nonlinear load characteristics, effects on power system equipment and loads.
Friday, June 25, 2004 - Phase sequences, component modeling, impedance matrices and scans, simulations.
