The Network Management System (NMS)

The Network Management System (NMS)

The Network Management System (NMS) is the supervisory control and data acquisition tool. It performs the following functions:

1- SCADA, 

2- The Real Time Network Analysis

3- The Study Network Analysis.

4- Training Simulation.

It provides the real time voltage and loading on the transmission system as well as monitoring and control of the status of the switches and breakers connecting the equipment to form the integrated network for the purpose of safe and reliable operation of the transmission system.

The NMS also provides predicative assessment tools which help in providing awareness of the situation of different elements of the electrical transmission grid to the operator.
