Course Outcomes

Upon the completion of the course, the student will be able to:

CO1Classify the power quality issues in the electrical distribution networkK2
CO2Describe the sources of voltage sag and protective devices, including voltage regulators, active series compensators, and UPS.K2
CO3Describe the different phenomena causing electrical transients and devices for over-voltage protection.K2
CO4Explain the working and application of different types of FACT devices like SSC, SVC, TSC, SSS, TCSC, UPFC.K2
CO5Explain the causes of harmonics, its effect on motor, capacitor, cables, and mitigation techniques.K2

Unit-I: Introduction to Power Quality:

Terms and definitions of transients, Long duration Voltage Variations: under Voltage, Under Voltage and Sustained Interruptions; Short Duration Voltage Variations: interruption, Sag, Swell; Voltage Imbalance; Notching D C offset, waveform distortion; voltage fluctuation; power frequency variations.

Unit-II: Voltage Sag:

Sources of voltage sag: motor starting, arc furnace, fault clearing etc; estimating voltage sag performance and principle of its protection; solutions at end user level- Isolation Transformer, Voltage Regulator, Static UPS, Rotary UPS, and Active Series Compensator.

Unit-III: Electrical Transients:

Sources of Transient Over voltages- Atmospheric and switching transients- motor starting transients, pf correction capacitor switching transients, ups switching transients, neutral voltage swing etc; devices for over voltage protection.

Unit-IV: FACT Systems:

Introduction – Terms & Definition, Fact Controllers, Type of FACT devices i.e. SSC, SVC, TSC, SSSC, TCSC, UPFC Basic relationship for power flow control.

Unit- V: Harmonics:

Causes of harmonics; current and voltage harmonics: measurement of harmonics; effects of harmonics on – Transformers, AC Motors, Capacitor Banks, Cables, and Communication Lines etc., Harmonic Mitigation Techniques.
