GridOS® WAMS

Precisely monitor grid oscillations

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. 

GridOS® WAMS

Overview

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.

Better technology.
Fewer outages. 

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. 

It all adds up to better system awareness, leading in turn to improved grid stability and fewer outage situations. 

Gartner® states, "PMUs boost situational awareness, detecting congestion and grid oscillations. WAMS, with embedded AI and event handling, swiftly pinpoints root causes and recommends actions — based on multiple phasor measures per second — to operators and traders."

Faster Disturbance Analysis

Leveraging GridOS WAMS, system operators have decreased the disturbance analysis process from days to hours. 

Fewer Blackouts

GridOS WAMS can proactively identify and locate oscillation sources in real time, helping operators take corrective action before grid blackouts can occur.

Maximum Visibility

GridOS WAMS provides the clearest, fullest view of the transmission network, including imminent disturbances and their root causes. 

Better Stability

GridOS WAMS includes a full automated frequency-control tool - essential for grids with high integration of renewables. 

Simpler Compliance

GridOS WAMS fully meets NERC requirements for grid dynamics and offers a non-intrusive tool to verify NERC generator compliance.

Seamless Scalability

Start small, or roll out at scale. Thanks to the GridOS microservice-based architecture, GridOS WAMS can be scaled to match any size operation.
