Wide Area Measurement Applications for Transmission and Distribution Systems
See upcoming datesCourse Overview
Ensure your power systems are running securely and reliably by learning the basics of Wide Area Management Systems (WAMS). WAMS is a protection system that monitors the condition of the network, and in transient conditions, alerts the operations staff of danger. In this course, you will learn how its communication infrastructure operates, and how to respond to a system disturbance.
