GE’s electrification and automation business

Generation

Challenge

Globally by 2025, it is estimated that utilities will need to connect 2400 GW of new generation to electric grids. This is required to support the growing global population, specifically in emerging markets, coupled with global mandates and legislation to reduce CO2 emissions from power generation sources.

Solution

GE provides a versatile and robust range of solutions for connecting and evacuating power from generation sources onto the grid, providing utilities with the tools needed to support the increase in demand quickly, safely and efficiently. Helping ensure a continous supply of power, GE offers Electrical Balance of Plant (EBoP), smart controls, sensors, communication networking solutions, and substation operation and maintenance support for distributed, renewable and thermal power plants and microgrid applications.

Transmission

Challenge

Power systems are interconnected, highly complex networks that are susceptible to instabilities. Power transformers, the heart of the aging power system, currently average an in-service life of over 40 years. Expertise to manage the grid is rapidly diminishing due to the retirement of skilled, technical workers.

Additionally, utilities are being asked to increase grid efficiency and resiliency without investing in new capital equipment, while also supporting the integration of renewables. Overall, utilities are under intense scrutiny by both regulatory agencies and the public, to prevent the catastrophic power system failures that have occurred over the last decades.

Solution

GE offers utilities advanced solutions to improve grid stability, support the latest cyber-security tools, and increase the efficiency of transmission networks. These solutions include reactive power solutions that cost effectively increase power transfer capabilities of existing infrastructure, self healing systems that detect instabilities and automatically reconfigure networks in real-time, and substation maintenance and modernization solutions to allow customers to leverage our expertise.

Challenge

North American utilities lose an average of $495M annually due to inaccurate power measurements. This is due in large part to inaccurate billing caused by the inability of sensors and meters to accurately measure across the entire load road, especially during low load conditions.

Solution

GE has designed a range of reliable technologies to address these critical issues including high accuracy meters that provide high-speed power quality monitoring and accurate measurements, low-voltage transformer solutions that maximize billing revenue and reduce inventory requirements, and easy-to-use software that enables simpler and faster configuration and deployment.
