Introduction

Power Management Systems (PMS) are essential for ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of electrical power systems in industries such as oil & gas, marine, utilities, and large industrial facilities. PMS enables real-time monitoring, load balancing, protection coordination, and automated control of power generation and distribution systems.

This 10-day advanced training program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides a comprehensive and practical approach to PMS, covering system design, load management, protection strategies, automation, and performance optimization.

Participants will gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on understanding of PMS applications, enabling them to operate, maintain, and optimize electrical power systems effectively.
