The Power Quality and Reliability training course offered by Coventry Academy addresses critical issues concerning the reliability and performance of electrical systems. Power quality significantly impacts the operation, efficiency, and longevity of electrical equipment. Issues such as voltage anomalies from the grid can lead to reduced efficiencies, increased downtime risks, and higher energy costs. Harmonic filters, capacitors, and other protective equipment are essential tools in mitigating these challenges and preventing unplanned shutdowns.
Modern electrical networks face additional complexities with non-linear loads and isolated or weaker grids, necessitating stringent grid codes and power quality standards. Challenges like harmonic distortions, voltage variations, poor power factor, and load unbalance pose significant reliability tests to electrical systems, resulting in greater overall losses.
Participants will gain practical insights and skills to ensure that power systems meet customer expectations for reliability and quality. This training equips professionals with the knowledge needed to effectively manage and enhance power quality in industrial and commercial settings, minimizing risks and optimizing performance.
Key topics covered in the Coventry Academy training course include:
