A two-day power quality course that explains the Engineering Recommendations associated with power quality, and demonstrates their application through worked examples and case studies.
This practical course will take you step by step through the Engineering Recommendation G5/5 on harmonics, explaining the background to the recommendation and the relevance of British and International standards to modern power networks.
The course will take you through the theory behind various types of disturbance on power networks, including the concept of electromagnetic compatibility, the causes and effects of harmonics, voltage fluctuations and flicker, and the effects of variable speed drives, UPS and switched mode power supplies.
You will then get the opportunity to test your understanding of G5/5 by working through a number of worked examples. Finally the workshop course will discuss power quality measurements and how the results can be interpreted, as well as the kind of power quality mitigation and conditioning techniques that you can apply.

The course is very good, good interaction and content. Case studies with wind turbine transformers would be good to include.

Most beneficial if you have a reasonable degree of understanding beforehand, allows you to probe and discuss particular elements most relevant to your field of work. Andrew's real world experience and position on working groups etc most valuable. And daft-laddie questions welcomed and dealt with admirably.

Very knowledgeable instructor, extensive experience and understanding of content. Was able to respond to & generally address most queries. Slides were sometimes a bit small, made following worked examples difficult but examples were good demonstrations of points.

Difficult to see some flowcharts, would be good to have these as handouts rather than slides. Overall course was well presented and very informative. Andrew is a very knowledgeable presenter and ran the course well.

Knowledgeable speakers with good real life examples. Well run/organised. Comfortable facilities. Maybe include session on analysis of data recorded by PQ meter (example data set).

Both presenters delivered the course very well. I will be able to use some of the topics more effectively in my future power surveys as a result of the course. 30 mins for lunch would be better.
Andrew, 9-10 November 2021
A good introduction to the standards applicable to Power Quality and how to apply them in undertaking an assessment.
Matthew, 9-10 November 2021
Course is very well structured and delivered at an appropriate level. However, from my specific point of view (being from BAE Submarines) there were points that felt a bit irrelevant.
Jomy, 9-10 November 2021
Very good course! First time I've filled the notebook and some helpful discussions. More info on mitigation (filtering etc) would be nice.
