Power Quality

The aim of this specialized consulting project is providing consulting support to EDP Distribution regarding Power Quality issues. This project is divided into four stages: The first is the revision (in form and content) of existing EDP Distribuição energy quality manual as well as the inclusion of new topics. The second stage consists of technical support for EDP Distribuição customers. In this stage an analysis of the problems felt by customers is performed as well as a market survey for solutions to mitigate those problems. All these solutions will be compiled in a solution manual which includes the technical and economic feasibility of each solution. The third stage consists in the creation of an online simulator that, according to the problems presented by the customers, will present the possible solutions. Finally, a few pilot projects will also be implemented where some of the innovative solutions found will be tested to understand if those solutions are feasible in the Portuguese national power grid.
