Power Quality in practice: from supraharmonic to cyber security (27/10)

Eberle_2017_-070_C

Measuring and monitoring the quality of the grid in low-, medium- and high-voltage networks is becoming increasingly important. LED lighting, frequency controls, inverters for solar panels, charging stations, wind turbines and switched-mode power supplies all have a strong impact on our grid quality.

Measuring power quality in a changing electricity network

Therefore, measuring according to the well-known EN 50160 standard alone is not always sufficient anymore. Supraharmonische frequencies also play an important role in disturbances and pollution of the grid. To be able to take the correct measures, the causes of these phenomena must be correctly measured, analyzed, and interpreted.

During this technical seminar, Lukas Rappel from A. Eberle his knowledge and practical experience regarding current power quality standards, supraharmonic systems and modern solutions for mobile and continuous monitoring.

Seminar - Fluke and the energy transition 2

LHM-Ebanners-Fluke-Seminar20257

Curious about what solutions Fluke has to offer regarding the energy transition?

Following an earlier seminar on Fluke and the energy transition, in this half-day seminar we will take a closer look at measuring itself. What should voltage quality meet, how do we gain insight into energy losses and what do the signals look like around current loads and power sources.

The energy transition is in full swing and the big challenges are clear. Energy costs combined with grid congestion are a big headache for entrepreneurial Belgium.​

In addition, energy-saving measures, newly emerged -and even mandatory- systems for additional ‘dynamism’ concerns on the electric grid. What does that actually look like? What needs to be met? And how do we get all this insight? What, why and how do we measure all this is what this seminar is about.
