        Managing power system stability and responding to system disturbances

        Power systems are experiencing fundamental change in the way they are managed, driven by the changing energy landscape and growing demand for electricity. Increasing volumes of renewables coupled with reducing inertia and more sensitive voltage profiles are creating more complex issues for system operators.

        WAMS provides visibility that is based on real-time data streamed from Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). A host of WAMS software applications use this data to provide context-specific information, presented through an intuitive user interface. GE’s WAMS solution complements traditional SCADA-based energy management to deliver fast and proactive grid stability management to meet the complex challenges of modern power systems.

        2021 IEEE NASPI Oscillation Source Location Contest Winner

        Wide Area Monitoring System & Control (WAMS & WAMC) (13)

        GE Digital tied for first place with RensselaerPolytechnic Institutein the global2021 IEEE NASPI OscillationSource Location Contestinvolving vendors, utilities, research centers and universities.

        GE WAMS solutions and its Oscillatory Stability Management application is a fundamental real-tool application to manage grid oscillations like theJanuary 11, 2019 Eastern Interconnection Forced Oscillation Event. Many observed oscillations are not detected in traditional model-based studies. They can quickly grow across the grid, leading to constraints or even outages. Being able to quickly locate where oscillations are being originated, can help operators to mitigate them and ensure secure grid operation.

        As recommended by NERC:RCs should have real-time oscillation detection tools in place to identify when oscillations are occurring, determine if it is limited locally within their footprint or across a wider area, and distinguish between forced oscillations and poorly damped natural system modes.GE Digital WAMSis fully prepared to meet NERC requirements.
