The Electrification Imperative: How GE Vernova Is Helping to Make the Grid Safer and More Reliable

Electrical power systems, better known as the grid, have largely worked the same way for more than 100 years. The vast network of wires, switches, transformers, and other technologies were designed for a one-way power flow, moving electrons from the point of generation to the point of consumption. Today, rapid changes are putting tremendous pressure on the grid. Electricity is no longer flowing in one direction only. You might think of it as a free-for-all — from the intermittent flows of big wind and solar projects to rooftop solar panels to an EV in the driveway.

Orchestrating Electrons: GE’s GridOS Is Poised to Help Utilities Navigate a Brave New Grid

Gregor Macdonald
February 07, 2023

Power-grid management in the old days was a simpler affair. Big generators pumped out electricity, and operators kept surpluses in reserve, meeting somewhat predictable demand fluctuations. Today’s grid is a radical contrast, a kind of free-for-all as new and more renewable electrons come on board — from the intermittent flows of big wind and solar, to millions of homeowners with solar on the roof, a battery in the basement, and an EV in the driveway. Because of this, electricity is no longer flowing in one direction only.

In 2023, the United Arab Emirates is taking center stage in the global efforts to address climate change and sustainability. This past week, leaders gathered for Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, kicking off a year of events leading up to the UAE-hosted COP28 at the end of the year. This momentum, following on the heels of the successful COP27 in Egypt — the “implementation COP” — will help continue driving positive action in emerging markets and globally for the decade to come.

Growing up in Senegal, Ibrahima Ndiaye spent a lot of time taking apart radios and fixing TV sets and learning math from his father, a teacher at a local college. He went on to study electrical engineering in Morocco, got his PhD in Canada, and a decade ago landed at GE Research, in Niskayuna, New York.

The Modernizers: At CIGRE 2022 in Paris, GE Spotlights Its Holistic Approach to Grid Modernization

For the first time in more than 100 years, the global energy landscape is undergoing a massive transformation. The way we generate, transport, distribute, and consume electricity will change more in the next 10 years than it did in the previous 125. What was once an orderly, monolithic system pushing power out to the people, the electric grid is transforming into a two-way highway of energy from diverse sources — including wind and solar — which present new challenges to grid stability and reliability.

Tiny Power Plants: GE Partners with Sandia Labs to Help Businesses Maximize Their PV Solar and Storage Assets

Gregor Macdonald
August 10, 2022

The weather playing havoc with summer travel schedules is something we have been getting used to for a while. It has also been affecting the way we live and challenging notions we have taken for granted — like the reliable supply of electricity. Now, suppose businesses and neighborhoods had their own small power plants that would leave them less exposed to the whims of nature and less dependent on the grid.

Electric Symphony: This New GE Software Can Help Speed Up The Energy Transition To More Renewables

Gregor Macdonald
May 24, 2022

It’s not hard to imagine a future where every home has an electric vehicle, solar panels on the roof, a battery system in the garage and multiple smart home devices like a connected thermostat or hot water heater.

This vision may still be a few years away, but the energy industry is making sure it’s ready. Power operators have already coined their own jargon for this technology: distributed energy resources, or DERs.

1,000 Shots On Goal: GE’s Culp, At Milken Institute Talk, Says He’s Optimistic About The Energy Transition

Will Palmer
May 05, 2022

At this week’s Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles, GE Chairman and CEO Larry Culp said there was “no one technology that will carry the day” when it comes to the energy transition. Instead, he said, the world needs to deploy a variety of approaches to address what he called the “trilemma” — reliability, affordability, and sustainability. “In many respects, we need just about everything that we can muster, both in terms of what we have today and what we’ll have as a result of innovation going forward,” he said.

When GE released its Sustainability Report last June, it made a commitment to becoming carbon neutral in its own operations by 2030, and announced an ambition to be net zero by 2050, including Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products. GE’s technology and its long innovation tradition are already helping customers find new ways to deal with looming challenges like the energy transition to address climate change. Take a look at our list.
