Advanced Quality of Electrical Supply

This advanced course gives participants practical skills in the analysis and mitigation of harmonics,
voltage unbalance, voltage sags and interruptions, power electronic mitigation techniques, and
power quality monitoring. Following the course, participants will be able to:

• Calculate distortion levels, evaluate resonance problems, apply the AS/NZS 61000.3.6
Technical Report methodologies and assess the effectiveness of mitigation methods
• Apply symmetrical component theory to the calculation of unbalance factors, understand the
effects of unbalance on various loads and appreciate the essentials of voltage unbalance
standards.
• Determine sag depth at a site depending on fault location or motor start characteristics.
• Assess options for sag mitigation and determine whether they should be applied within the
plant or network.
• Understand how power electronic devices can be used to mitigate power quality problems.
• Better understand PQ monitoring methodology including disturbances to be measured, how
they should be characterised and reported, and their acceptable levels.

This course is being delivered Face to Face at the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre on
Innovation Campus, Wollongong. Registration includes full catering and an official UOW
certificate of completion. Participants may count course hours towards their continuing
professional development requirements.
