Overview
The provided solution is a specialized monitoring system primarily designed to supervise a wide area of the electrical transmission grid and analyze its status in real-time. WAMS paves the way for advancing substation predictions, enhancing system accuracy, and formulating control strategies to prevent power blackouts.
The system collects data from equipment located at strategic points within the grid and uses advanced communication and data processing technologies to provide a comprehensive view of the grid's status and performance.
PROTASIS® WAMS solution addresses several critical issues in the power grid. It enhances grid visibility and situational awareness by providing high-resolution, time-synchronized data, enabling faster fault detection and response. It improves grid stability by detecting oscillations and dynamic instabilities that traditional systems might miss.
Furthermore, it facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources by managing their variability more effectively. Additionally, it supports detailed post-event analysis, adaptive protection schemes, and improved cybersecurity, leading to a more reliable, efficient, and secure power grid.
Characteristics
It enables the continuous monitoring of the state of the electrical grid over a wide geographical area. This allows the operator to promptly detect problems and take quick protective measures.
The ability to monitor the grid's state in real-time allows the operator to predict issues and take preventive maintenance actions that help reduce power outages.
The extensive monitoring of the grid allows immediate detection of faults and issues, enabling quick power restoration.
It provides data allowing operators to predict the grid's behavior based on current conditions, contributing to improved planning and efficient operation of the network.
The data provided can be used for the optimal design of the grid and more efficient operation.
The installation and operation of a WAMS offers the capability to determine the parameters of dynamic simulation models used in studies of the grid's dynamic stability.
