#	Content	PC Sub	1	2	3	4	5
1	Learn to specify and classify power quality disturbances, causes, disturbances impact on electrical equipment.
2	Be acquainted with the applicable international codes and standards in power quality engineering.
3	Become familiar with the types of hardware and software tools for using in power quality searches.
4	Learn to plan a power quality study analyze recorded data, and identify power quality problems.
5	Be able to suggest appropriate mitigation techniques for power quality problems in designs.

Course Description

This course addresses concepts that underlie power quality issues such as harmonic generation and harmonic flow, and the modeling of voltage sags and swells. The effects of such disturbances on equipment (transformers, rotating machines, lamps, relays and converters) performance are studied by means of actual field cases. Other topics covered are Power Quality measurements in the era of smart grid, Power Quality problems caused by Renewable Generators, and Engineering Economics issues related to Power Quality.
