1. Course outline
The expression Power Quality is used to broadly describe the entire scope of
the complex interaction among electrical producers and suppliers, the
environment, the systems and devices supplied by the electrical energy and
the users of those systems and devices. It generally involves the
maintainability of the power delivered, the design, selection, and the
installation of every piece of equipment, whether hardware or software in the
electrical energy system.
Covering all areas from the generation plant to the last customer in the chain
of electricity supply, power quality may be regarded as a measure of
compatibility between the elements of the power system and the system as a
whole. With increasing integrated circuit densities, faster processor speeds,
increasingly sensitive equipment, and growth in application of sensitive
electronic devices the chance of the interference occurring rises.
The world wide trend of increase of electricity generation from renewable

energy sources (RES), largely connected to low voltage distribution networks,
additionally introduces some new challenges in ensuring adequate quality of
electricity supply to end users. Fluctuating power generation that may cause
unacceptable voltage variations (flicker), constant requirement for reactive
power support (in case of fixed speed wind generators), power electronic
interfaces between DG and the network (that on one hand may contribute to
increased harmonic pollution of the network and on the other be oversensitive
to network disturbances and trip the DG), voltage regulation and unbalance,
are some of the issues in the networks with DG that require careful
consideration.
The influence of the DG on power quality is largely dependent on it size,
location, type and applied protection schemes. Revised grid codes (Germany,
Denmark, Scotland, England, Ireland, etc.) are much more demanding with
respect to ride-through capabilities of DG which consequently strongly
influence their contribution to voltage levels in the system during disturbances,
i.e., overall quality of electricity supply.
This three-day course will present an overview of major Power Quality issues
facing modern industry, electrical power utilities and generation companies
operating in the environment where increased portion of the electricity is
generated by renewable energy sources connected to low(er) voltage
distribution networks. Sources, and consequences of the most frequent
Power Quality problems, as well as the methods for their mitigation will be
addressed and the financial consequences of inadequate quality of electricity
supply discussed in detail.

2. Scope and objectives
The course is designed to give both, industrial practitioners (technicians,
engineers and managers) and young academics and researchers a solid
understanding of the major Power Quality issues facing customers and
operators of modern electrical power systems with substantial penetration of
distributed generation. The following topics will be addressed:
• Power Quality - importance, terms and definitions
• Overview of distributed generation technologies (renewable and
conventional) and major power quality issues arising from their application
• Sources, consequences and mitigation of voltage variations
• Sources, consequences and mitigation of harmonics
• Guidelines for monitoring Power Quality
• Brief overview of major Power Quality standards
3. Who should attend

This course is intended for all technical staff, engineers and managers from
electrical power utilities, independent generating companies, electricity
regulator, industry, manufacturing and consulting companies and educational
and research institutions who deal with the Quality of Electricity Supply and
Distributed Generation.
