About

About the course

Course content

The goal is to give insight in physical understanding, analysis and measurements of technical voltage quality elements in electrical transmission and distribution systems and their impact on customer loads and installation. The following voltage quality elements are addressed:

• Power frequency.
• Magnitude of the supply voltage
• Supply voltage variations
• Rapid voltage changes
o Single rapid voltage change
o Flicker severity
• Supply voltage dips -Short interruptions of the supply voltage
• Supply voltage unbalance
• Harmonic voltages

Each phenomenon will be dealt with as follows: Theory, modeling, physical impact on the electricity system and the connected installations. How the different phenomena can be simulated and measured is also delta with as well as means for voltage quality problem mitigation.

Learning outcome

The course will give a thorough understanding of the main voltage quality phenomena with respect to physical understanding, analysis and measurements

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, selected topic presentation by each participant followed by discussions.Laboratory measurements. The course is given every second year, next time spring 2012.
