EE 582.02 - Power Quality Analysis


Course Description

This course aims to develop an understanding of the existing and future power quality issues, including their identification, measurement, and mitigation. The following topics will be covered:

  • Power quality - definitions, standards, classification
  • Fault clearing practice and fuse-recloser coordination
  • Interruptions and voltage sag problems due to faults in power system, voltage swell problem in unfaulted phases, voltage related issues due to motor starting
  • Transient overvoltage phenomenon, applications of shunt capacitor banks, analysis and mitigation of capacitor switching transients
  • Sources and effects of harmonics on power system, modeling distribution system under non-sinusoidal condition, harmonic power flow, analysis and mitigation of power system harmonics, designing harmonic filters
  • Impacts, analysis, and mitigation of DG/PV on distribution system power quality
