Power Quality

1. Power Quality Problems and Monitoring :

Introduction, surges, voltage sag and swell, over voltage, under voltage, outage voltage and phase angle imbalances, electrical noise, harmonic, frequency deviation monitoring.

2. Solution to power quality problems : Design, measures to minimize the frequency and duration of outages in distribution systems, voltages regulators, harmonic filters, power conditioners, uninterruptible power supplies, emergency and standby power systems, application of power conditioners.

3 Minimization of disturbances at Customer site : Power quality standards, standard test waveforms, power distribution system design, measure to minimize voltage disturbances.
