This course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of power quality and its impact on electrical systems. In modern industries, the increasing use of power electronics, automation, and sensitive equipment has made power quality a critical factor for reliable and efficient operation. Poor power quality can lead to equipment malfunction, unexpected shutdowns, increased losses, and reduced system life.
In this course, you will start with the fundamentals of power quality, including its definition, importance, and scope. You will then explore various power quality disturbances such as voltage sag, swell, interruptions, harmonics, flicker, noise, and voltage unbalance. Each concept is explained in a simple and structured way with practical examples.
The course focuses not only on understanding problems but also on their solutions. You will learn about key mitigation techniques and devices such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), DSTATCOM, Static VAR Compensator (SVC), harmonic filters, isolation transformers, noise filters, surge protection devices, and Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). Their working principles and real-world applications are clearly explained.
