Based on prediction, the penetration of renewable resources has been increased up to 40% of total power demand in India till 2022. The complexity of the network has been increased due to presence of renewable resources. In order to improve the performance and efficiency of the power system, implementation of WAMs is essential. In this study, need and basics of WAMs are presented. This paper presents the need and basics of WAMs. Moreover, conceptual lay out of WAMs is also elaborated. Further, the main components of WAMs and its superiority with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) has been shown. Furthermore, application of WAMs in real time power system network has been elaborated. In addition, conceptual lay out of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) and working of its different parts has been explained. At last, the different locations in India where PMUs are installed has been listed.
