INTRODUCTION
Power
quality has the
aim of ensuring that customer equipment behaves as intended when
supplied from
the power system. It concerns the different disturbances on the power
system,
how they propagate and affect customer equipment. In many
jurisdictions, energy
regulators have set minimum standards which the power system must
follow.
The
course will
comprise lectures and some computer laboratory work over three days
with mainly
a distribution and installation orientation.
Course
Outcomes
At
the end of this
course, attendees should
- Be
familiar with the major power quality disturbance types, their
causes and their impacts on customer equipment;
- Know
which disturbance types are most important at the current
time;
- Be
able to make some back-of-envelope calculations on the magnitude
of power quality disturbances;
- Know
how responsibilities for power quality management should be
shared between utilities, customers and equipment suppliers;
- Understand
the role of monitoring in managing power quality.
Continuing
Education Opportunities
The Australian Power
Institute
has identified a need to provide practical
post graduate training for engineers employed in the power industry.
This
course is a professional development course. It is aimed at power
engineers who
would like to broaden their appreciation of power engineering at both a
theoretical and practical level. The
course is also included in a Graduate Certificate in
Renewable Energy and Power Systems offered at the
University of Tasmania:
