Voltage Quality
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.
