Training Introduction

The Power Quality and Reliability Training Course at Coventry Academy provides a practical and comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting the performance and dependability of electrical systems. Power quality directly influences equipment efficiency, operational uptime, and energy costs. Issues such as voltage sags, harmonics, and unbalanced loads can lead to system inefficiencies, equipment damage, and unplanned shutdowns.

This course equips participants with the knowledge and tools to identify, analyze, and mitigate power quality issues. Participants will learn about protective equipment, harmonic filters, capacitors, and advanced techniques to enhance system reliability. Special attention is given to modern networks with non-linear loads and weaker or isolated grids, addressing compliance with grid codes and industry standards.

Key focus areas of this course:

  • Fundamental terminology and concepts of power quality and reliability
  • Understanding voltage sags, interruptions, and their impacts on equipment
  • Effects of fault clearing on voltage stability
  • Reliability indices and their practical applications
  • Transient overvoltages and the proper use of surge arresters
  • AC power analysis and steady-state voltage regulation
  • Techniques to identify, mitigate, and manage harmonics in electrical systems

What are the goals?

By the end of this Coventry Academy training course, participants will have the skills to assess, manage, and improve power quality and system reliability. They will be able to apply practical methods for mitigating disturbances and ensuring consistent electricity supply to critical loads.

Key learning outcomes include:

  • Understand essential power quality and reliability concepts and terminology
  • Assess the effects of voltage sags on sensitive electrical equipment
  • Evaluate the impact of fault clearing on system voltage stability
  • Calculate and apply standardized reliability indices
  • Identify sources of transient overvoltages and specify appropriate arresters
  • Recognize the causes of harmonics and implement mitigation strategies
  • Analyze AC power components and understand voltage regulation relationships

Who is this Training Course for?

This Coventry Academy training course is ideal for engineers and technicians working with power transmission, distribution systems, or industrial facilities. It is suitable for those beginning a career in power quality assessment, as well as professionals seeking to enhance reliability and performance of electrical systems.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit: 

  • Engineers and technicians new to the power industry
  • Intermediate-level engineers aiming to improve system reliability
  • Professionals responsible for evaluating and mitigating power quality issues
  • Facility engineers and consultants managing electrical systems
  • Engineers tasked with monitoring system performance and reliability

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This course uses interactive and practical adult learning techniques to ensure maximum comprehension and retention. Participants engage in workshops, case studies, and problem-solving exercises, applying theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. Simulations and animations illustrate abstract concepts in an intuitive and practical way, reinforcing learning outcomes.

Delegates will work with relevant examples, analyze power system disturbances, and practice mitigation techniques. This participatory approach ensures that participants leave the course with actionable skills to maintain reliable, high-quality power systems in industrial, commercial, and utility environments.
