Course Introduction
A wide-area measurement system (WAMS) consists of advanced measurement technology, the latest communication network infrastructure, and an integrated operational framework.
WAMS
The main enabler of WAMS is phasor measurement unit (PMU) technology. With the innovation of PMU, the problem of measuring the phasor quantities simultaneously from a wide area of distributed substations, also called ‘synchrophasor’, has been solved.
At present, the PMU technology is one of the essential enablers for WAMS. It utilizes the availability of high-precision synchronized clock sources – extracted from global positioning system (GPS) receivers and samples the instantaneous analogue quantities of voltage and current magnitudes and phase angles.
During the 5-day Training- Consultancy, we will introduce the technological development of synchronized phasor measurements and their use in modern WAMS. The concept of phasors, synchrophasors, and their architecture.
The same will touch the modern applications of these systems in monitoring, protection, and control. During this period will also describe industry standards, and will conclude with an account of WAMS applications in many countries around the world.
