Tutorial: Harmonic Challenges for Distribution Grid Design
Tutorial - Harmonic Challenges for Distribution Grid Design (3 hours)
This tutorial will cover the applicational challenges of harmonic mitigation and design/specificational “best practices” for assuring proper load structure for power quality.
As new technologies for load-based structures transition to modern diode bridge and IGBT-based rectification configurations, electrical harmonics become a key consideration in planning for distribution grid design and load structure power quality specification. This course will provide information on:
- The Fundamentals of Electrical Harmonics
- Review of IEEE 519-2022 Requirements + Considerations of Missing Frequency Bandwidths in Standards (3kHz–150kHz)
- Harmonic Mitigation Strategies
- Considerations for Power Quality and Conditioning in Utility-Tied Systems
Modeling Exercise Case Study
For learners who wish to try a practical application of the information from the tutorial, this modeling exercise will be a value-added opportunity!
This will be a real-time simulation with facilitated Q&A to follow.
IEEE Credentialing
This course has been approved by IEEE to offer credentialed Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for benefit of the students.
