Power Quality for Energy Efficiency Retrofits & Renewable Power

Event Overview

This seminar, titled "Keeping Your Electricity Clean as You Go Green", is designed for electrical professionals, including electricians, inspectors, and facility engineers. It addresses the critical relationship between energy efficiency retrofits and power quality, particularly in commercial and industrial settings. Participants will learn about common energy efficiency projects, such as the use of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and LED lamps, which can introduce electrical disturbances like harmonics.

Key Topics

The course will cover:

• Power Quality Concerns: Understanding the potential problems associated with energy efficiency improvements and how to recognize them post-installation.

• Renewable Energy Integration: Insights into how various power sources, including renewable energy inverters and standby generators, can affect power quality. The seminar will provide guidance on the proper sizing of these systems based on intended loads and the achievable power quality levels.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the types of power quality issues that may arise during energy efficiency upgrades and strategies to mitigate these problems. This knowledge is essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of electrical equipment in facilities utilizing renewable energy sources.
