Webinar - Harmonics and Power Quality Organized by IEEE Power & Energy Society South Australia Chapter Date: Friday, 6 th September 2024 Time: 5.00 pm (ACST) (GMT 9.30) Talk 1: Impact and management of harmonics for larger renewable generators by Sean Elphick , Australian Power Research Centre (University of Wollongong ) Talk 2: Certainty in power quality compliance from desktop to evolving reality by Mikael Kotaniemi , Power Quality Engineer, Optimised Network Equipment Pty Ltd Webinar Registration: https://lnkd.in/g_EAm6bG This event is free and open to the public. For further information, please contact Athmi J. at [email protected] Presentation Synopsis Talk 1:Impact and management of harmonics for larger renewable generators In this presentation, Sean will detail the characteristics and potential impacts, of the harmonic distortion produced by large renewable energy generators. Sean will also describe present approaches to management of harmonic distortion related to large renewable energy generators with reference to Australian Standards and the National Electricity Rules. The presentation will also highlight some of the challenges and limitations that exist in present connection assessment practices. Talk 2 :Certainty in power quality compliance from desktop to evolving reality In this presentation, Mikael will describe how most practical harmonic compliance assessments are currently carried out for grid-scale wind farms, solar farms and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the National Energy Market (NEM), the shortfalls of this method, and then an alternative approach that has the potential to assess compliance on site more accurately, during R2 testing and into the future. The new assessment method (already in use in parts of the NEM) also has the potential to improve the input information for future desktop studies. About Speakers Sean Elphick graduated from the University of Wollongong with a B.E. (elec) in 2002. In 2003, he joined what is now the Australian Power Research Centre at the University of Wollongong, where he is Research Coordinator and Centre Manager. His current role involves business development and technical support for the research and consulting projects that the centre is engaged on. Mikael Kotaniemi is a Power Quality Engineer at Optimised Network Equipment with a B. Eng (Electrical Engineering, Extended Major) from the University of Queensland. He has fourteen years of experience in the areas of power system analysis and design, and almost twelve years of experience in the manufacture and delivery of power quality solutions to clients in the electricity utility, mining, industrial and commercial sectors.
