The Leonardo Power Quality Initiative has set up an online interactive training centre that covers practical and theoretical aspects of power quality for engineers, managers and designers.

The Leonardo Power Quality Initiative (LPQI) has set up an online interactive training centre that covers practical and theoretical aspects of power quality for electrical engineers, facilities managers and M and E designers.

Recognising the need for flexible, on-demand learning resources, LPQI has produced a series of narrated PowerPoint webcasts on its interactive learning portal http://le.webex.com.

Modules currently available include: functional earthing of electronic devices; introduction to voltage dips; and uncommon and unexpected metering errors.

Future webcasts will include a series on harmonics, secure power or distribution transformers.

Webcasts last from 20 minutes to 1 hour and can be viewed at any time after a simple registration.

Live, interactive training events, webinars, which include a moderated Q and A session, are also available and cover topics such as passive filters, the electricity system of the future and labelling power quality.

To participate in one of these events, registration is essential.

The new training centre complements the LPQI website www.lpqi.org, which includes a power quality application guide library available for free download, details of events, technical seminars, a digital library, a presentation library and a discussion forum.

For five years, LPQI has been addressing the training needs of electrical professionals through its award-winning, pan-European programme.

The emergence of new energy technologies, the liberalisation of the electricity market and the increasing environmental concerns related to energy systems, make lifelong learning an absolute must for the more than one million European professionals active in this sector.

The availability of a high quality electricity supply and uninterrupted data communications are part of the essential and critical infrastructure needed to power the digital economy and strengthen Europe's competitiveness.
