Training Overview

Training Overview

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:

  • Basic terminology and definitions related to power quality
  • Understanding voltage sags, interruptions, and their effects
  • Impact of fault clearing on system voltage
  • Overview of reliability indices and their significance
  • Transient overvoltages and the role of arresters
  • Techniques for analyzing AC power and steady-state voltage regulation
  • Strategies for identifying and mitigating harmonics in electrical systems

What are the goals?

By the end of this Coventry Academy training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand common power quality and reliability terms
  • Know how to assess the impact of voltage sags on sensitive electrical equipment
  • Comprehend the influence of fault clearing on voltage stability
  • Calculate and use standardized reliability indices
  • Understand the sources of transient overvoltages and be able to specify arresters
  • Know why harmonics are produced and be able to implement mitigation methods
  • Analyze the components of AC power and understand the relationship with voltage regulation

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is designed for utility, plant, or consulting engineers and technicians who work with transmission or distribution systems, or facilities that utilize electrical power.  If you are beginning a career or assignment in these areas, this training course will be of value to you. Those responsible for improving system reliability or resolving power quality issues will find this training course especially helpful.  Topics will begin at the fundamental level and move to more advanced content as the training course progresses. Prerequisites include a basic understanding of three-phase power systems.

This Coventry Academy 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 and technicians who seek to improve system reliability
  • Professionals involved with the assessment of power quality
  • Facility engineers and consultants responsible for mitigating power quality issues
  • Engineers tasked with monitoring system performance and reliability

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This Coventry Academy training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented. These methods include workshops where attendees practice solving problems (bring a scientific calculator), case studies where concepts covered are applied to real-world situations, and simulations and animations to visually illustrate what would otherwise be abstract concepts in a novel and intuitive manner.
