Power Quality Monitoring and Mitigation
Power quality is an issue that is becoming increasingly important to electricity consumers at all levels of usage. Sensitive power electronic equipment and non-linear loads are widely used in industrial, commercial and domestic applications leading to distortion in voltage and current waveforms. With ongoing regulatory, policy and structural changes in the Indian electricity industry, following the Electricity Act 2003, the issue of PQ is poised to become a figure-of-merit amongst the competing distribution utilities. Improvement of PQ has a positive impact on sustained profitability of the distribution utility on the one hand and customer satisfaction on the other.
The main objective of the course is to enhance the knowledge of the participants in the emerging area of power quality and several key issues related to its modeling, assessment and mitigation.
The course will provide a platform to an in-depth discussion on the various challenges and their possible remedies with respect to maintaining power quality in electricity sector, which will benefit participants from academic and R & D institutions, professional engineers from utilities, industries and policy makers.
The course will introduce fundamentals of power quality problems, various causes which create the distortion in the power supply, their mitigation and power quality standards. The course will also cover the application of digital signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques for data compression, feature extraction and classification of disturbances. Besides these, few fault location algorithms will also be discussed. Demonstration of the findings in the recent research work on power quality issues carried out at I.I.T. Kanpur will also be presented.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on electrical power systems quality and troubleshooting
