OVERVIEW
This is a two-day course relating to electric power quality. The main components of the course are: Introduction to the basic principles Measurements and modeling of power quality engineering Problematic conditions and their solution Standards and practices in the area Transformer de-rating The emphasis is on understanding the complex phenomena of power quality and distortion in AC systems. Also, the practical side of the field shall be examined by case studies, solution methods, and a review of the technology of this field. This course is designed to explain the basics of modern power systems with a focus on power quality and an emphasis on current and future trends.The course will provide tools that will enable an engineer or a practicing individual in a utility or industrial environment to understand power quality issues and apply them in the current restructured industry environment. The course material is also designed to serve as a useful reference in day-to-day work. It allows the participants to gain self-paced, in-depth knowledge with the aid of practical examples. The topics covered include latest developments occurring in the industry.

LEARNINg ObjECTIVES
This course relates to electric power quality and the characteristics of maintaining rated electrical parameters in a power system. The topics discussed are the main points that encompass this field in the world today including voltage sags, harmonics, momentary events, interference, and waveform distortion. These topics are studied in terms of definitions and theoretical bases; measurement and instrumentation; circuit analysis methods; standards; sources of problems; and alternative solutions. Some of the main points covered in the course include: Defining THD, DIN, C-message weight How to calculate K-factor index, flicker How to calculate the de-rating of Developing power quality calculation skills distribution transformers due to Introduction to IEEE and other harmonic load currents, and an standards, and how to use IEEE 519 understanding of the assumptions of How to use power acceptability curves ANSI Standard C57.110 Recognition of the significance of How to design harmonic filters, and power factor a general study of their use How to perform calculations relating Design of UPS's and similar power to resonance conditioning equipment Studying harmonics from bridge rectifiers The most recent developments in Studying harmonics in three phase systems power quality engineering Analysis of compact fluorescent loads The impact of renewable resources How to use the injection current method on electric power quality How to perform nonlinear state estimation of power quality indices Text book: A copy of Power Quality by gerald T. Heydt, Stars in Circle publications, 1994, will be provided to each participant
