GridOS Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS) empowers grid operators to verify normal oscillation behaviors. Its robust analysis engine can quickly identify and pinpoint the precise cause of any disturbance, enabling operators to intervene before outages occur.
Maximize grid stability across transmission
Transmission operators face a variety of challenges associated with the energy transition. Increased renewables integration, reduced inertia, more sensitive voltage profiles, and an overall growing demand for electricity create complexities that must be resolved before disruptions result.
The advanced monitoring and analysis capabilities of WAMS enable transmission operators to understand real-time grid dynamics and take proactive action to maintain and restore system stability.
A powerful WAMS solution built for grid orchestration
GridOS WAMS offers applications such as Oscillation Monitoring and Source Location, Disturbance Detection, Islanding Re-Synchronization Support, Effective Inertia Metering, and Dynamic Model Validation & Calibration – all of which help transmission operators proactively orchestrate the grid.
With GridOS WAMS’ robust analysis capabilities, operators can monitor grid oscillations and verify normal activity. With Oscillation Source Location, operators can locate generator units that are destabilizing the grid and take corrective actions to prevent outages. In cases where electrical islands have formed, GridOS WAMS can help operators understand if those islands are electrically balanced, guaranteeing a smooth reconnection during the re-synchronization phase.
