POWER QUALITY SOLUTIONS: From Harmonic Mitigation to Equipment Protection
Please join the IEEE Central Tennessee Section for timely technical presentations on Power Quality from Industry Experts. Please note that this is a 3-hour event and once again we are not in our normal location.
“POWER QUALITY SOLUTIONS”
From Harmonic Mitigation to Equipment Protection
Presentation: As electrical systems grow more complex with variable frequency drives (VFDs), automation, electrification, and data center infrastructure, maintaining power quality is essential to system reliability, efficiency, and equipment protection.
This technical seminar provides an overview of common power quality challenges, applicable IEEE standards, and practical mitigation technologies. Participants will explore the causes and effects of harmonics, methods for improving electrical system performance, and the selection of appropriate line-side and load-side solutions.
Through technical discussions and application examples, the seminar will examine passive and active harmonic filtering, reactors, motor protection technologies, and engineering considerations for industrial and mission-critical facilities.:
