Richmond PES Power Quality Seminar

Good power quality is essential for the proper usage of electricity of modern appliances.  With the addition of more and more nonlinear loads and power electronic converters to the grid (such as PV, solar and wind) maintaining good power quality becomes increasingly more challenging.  Power Quality problems are a major cause of unscheduled downtime, equipment malfunction, and damage.  Today Industrial facilities, data centers, and even office buildings demand to be supplied at a high level of quality power.  When power quality is affected due to disturbances like interruptions, voltage dips or harmonic pollution, your business can suffer.

In this seminar, the experts from academia and industry are invited to present various topics on power quality, such as the fundamental theory, industry and consulting experience, and monitoring devices.  This seminar will help attendees get a better understanding of power quality issues and their mitigation techniques in power grids.
