The training course gives an overview of simulation techniques in PowerFactory for the assessment of power quality with an emphasis on harmonic distortion and reviews recommended practice for harmonic mitigation in power systems. Special attention is drawn to the power quality characteristics of converter-connected generation, such as wind or solar generation and the assessment of harmonic emissions according to IEC standards.

Besides the theoretical review of main power quality concepts, multiple hands-on exercises will help the participant to familiarise with the simulation tools in PowerFactory for harmonic analysis.
