Introduction
Modern industrial plants, utilities, and critical infrastructure facilities rely heavily on intelligent power management to maintain safety, operational efficiency, system reliability, and cost control. At the heart of this capability lies the Power Management System (PMS)—the central platform responsible for monitoring, controlling, automating, and protecting electrical power networks.
This intensive 2-week Power Management System course is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of PMS design, configuration, operation, and system integration. The program emphasizes real-world applications, industry standards, and hands-on practices. Whether you are involved in system upgrades, SCADA/DCS integration, or advanced troubleshooting, this course will significantly enhance your technical competence and practical confidence in managing modern power systems.
