Introduction to Quality of Electrical Supply

The rapidly increasing installation of electronic equipment such as digital controls, computers and sensitive process control equipment has increased the susceptibility of utility customers to supply disturbances. This course covers all power quality problems including voltage sags, harmonics, transients and light flicker. You'll learn analysis fundamentals, instrumentation techniques and methods of improving power quality by both network and plant modifications. A feature of the course will be a number of hands-on computer investigations for "what-if" scenarios, along with practical case studies of power quality problems and solutions from local industry experts.
