About this training course
In an ideal electrical power network, electrical power is expected to be delivered with
- A purely sinusoidal voltage of constant nominal magnitude
- The three phase voltages at identical magnitudes and identical phase-phase angles, and
- The load currents aligned with the respective voltages – that is with purely active power load.
This is rarely the case in reality. Electrical power networks often experience problems with voltage magnitude fluctuations, harmonics, unbalance between the three phase voltages, and reactive power. Power Quality is an electrical engineering field which looks at causes, effects, and remedies associated with these issues.
Power quality studies aim to determine the effect the customer loads have on the supply grid, and to ensure that the customer load network connection does not negatively impact the grid network. The Power Quality Studies typically focus on Reactive power, Harmonics, Unbalance and Flicker. The power quality studies are therefore a critical part of the negotiations between the customer and the grid authority and are typically conducted whenever a new connection is established, or when an existing connection is augmented.
This training is intended to cover HV and MV with voltage levels from 11kV to 330kV.
By participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Comprehending High Voltage networks and their topologies
- Examining Power network components and how to model them for power quality studies
- Diving deeper into reactive power, harmonics, flicker, load and consequently Voltage unbalance
- Reviewing traditional and modern technologies for alleviating Power Quality issues, including Scott Transformer, Static VAR Compensator / STATCOM, Rail Power Conditioner and Static Frequency Converter
The course will greatly benefit the following groups but not limited to:
- Staff involved with connection negotiations
- Power network modelling engineers
- Power network planning engineers
- Power network asset engineers
- Project engineers and project managers
- Commissioning engineers
- Field technicians
- Basic or Foundation
- Intermediate
The training instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught in their own organization.
Course Duration: 1 day in total (7 hours).

Between 1995 and 2000 he was with Energoprojekt, Belgrade, Serbia, working on Transmission and Distribution Substation projects in Nigeria and Botswana. From 2001 to 2002, he worked for UGL, Sydney, on Water treatment plant electrical networks, DC railways and Transmission Substation upgrades. Between 2002 and 2006 he was with Power Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, working in Transmission Protection and Automation. From 2006 to 2008 he was with WorleyParsons, Brisbane, working in the Oil and Distribution high voltage networks. Between 2008 and 2019 he was with Queensland Rail and Aurizon, Brisbane, working on major Traction Power Network upgrade programs within the Queensland passenger and heavy haul railway networks. Since 2019, he has been with Arcadis in Brisbane as Technical Director, working in the transmission, distribution, rail and oil and gas sectors.
In 2020, he completed his PhD in the field of Traction Power Network analysis. He has conducted significant research and has published numerous papers in the areas of Protection, FACTS and large-scale Battery systems for Traction Power Networks. As a member of IEEE, he has reviewed many IEEE conference and journal papers in the Power Systems field.
He has delivered numerous training courses in Power Systems Protection.
