Upon completion of this online course you will be able to discuss power factor and harmonics and explain how power factor correction and harmonic mitigation provide immediate benefit in terms of reduced power losses, reduced electricity bill, and the possibility to use the total system capacity.
Energy University offers free industry-leading education for professionals from all organisational levels and backgrounds interested in delivering efficiency to their organisation. As a free web-based, on-demand resource, Energy University offers a wide range of courses focused on the critical end markets that represent 72% of worldwide energy consumption: Energy & Infrastructure, Industry, Data Centres & Networks, Buildings and Residential.
Description
Low power factor and harmonics are a frustration for electrical installations. They can cause power losses and reduced energy reliability. In the context of increasing concern about energy efficiency and energy management, power factor and harmonics are important issues to consider for the management of electrical installations.
This course will:
- List examples of power factor and harmonics phenomena, the common causes and the common negative physical and financial impacts
- List methods of preventing or mitigating power factor and harmonics problems and describe their suitability for particular situations
- Perform power triangle calculations, and size the required power factor correction solution for a given level of correction
- List possible locations of mitigation solutions within an electrical network, and identify the pros and cons associated with each location
Course Duration
All online courses are convenient one-hour modules that allow progress through the courses at your own speed. As you complete courses, you can receive professional education credits, eventually building toward our Energy Certificate.
