| Description:
| Aims: To provide a detailed understanding, relating to the issues surrounding power quality and how these affect power systems, in particular, an understanding of the required measurement and modelling techniques to identify power quality problems and mitigation techniques. Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit students will be able to: * Identify and classify power quality disturbances, their causes, and their impact on power system elements; * Become familiar with the terminology used in power quality engineering. * Use the applicable UK, EU and international power quality standards to assess and evaluate power quality in electric power networks; * Conduct harmonic power studies and recommend appropriate mitigation techniques for power quality problems in proposed or existing designs, including the design and implementation of passive harmonic filters. Skills: Application of the information, techniques and methods detailed in the unit material, to the proposal of, and the carrying through of, appropriate solutions to engineering problems in the modelling of power quality disturbances and mitigation techniques. Taught, facilitated and tested. Content: Power Quality Terms and Definitions; Electromagnetic Compatibility; International and National Standards for Power Quality; Voltage Dips and Interruptions; Harmonics; Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker; Unbalanced Voltage Supply; Power Quality Monitoring and Conditioning. |
