Networking Skills: The Modern Grid Is a Cacophony of Data. GridOS Is Helping to Bring It into Perfect Harmony

Chris Noon
February 28, 2024

You might not think a purring power grid and a fountain of French fizz have much in common, but Thorsten Heller, the chief innovation officer at GE Vernova’s Grid Software business, begs to differ. He compares an efficient network for electricity delivery to the champagne towers popular at weddings, where the sparkling wine overflowing from the coupe at the summit trickles down evenly into tiers of glasses below, without ever spilling a drop.

GE Vernova has Acquired Greenbird Integration Technology AS to Help Manage Tomorrow’s Power Grid

Christine Gibson

If you’re a regular user of electricity, you’re familiar with this scenario: A thunderstorm booms, lightning streaks across the sky, and the room suddenly goes dark. Usually, the electricity whirs back on within a couple of seconds. But if the storm downed a utility pole, it could be hours; if it took out a substation, you’d better stock up on candles and shelf-stable provisions.

As climate change breeds harder rains and stronger winds, we can expect more frequent, and longer, power outages. But what if utilities could prepare in advance?

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.

Good Things in Small Packages: GE Will Invest in South Carolina Hub to Boost Small-Turbine Production

Gregor Macdonald
August 24, 2022

Wind and solar have grown so fast in the past decade that they now generate more electricity globally than nuclear power. But all that clean energy needs a support structure to balance out the hours when the wind doesn’t spin the blades and the sun turns down for the night. One way to support wind and solar growth is through simple-cycle natural gas turbines. Smaller, mobile, and modular, these turbines — often referred to as “aeroderivative” because they are derived from jet engine technology — don’t need to be housed in traditional stationary natural gas plants.

Master Builders: The Lab Shaping The Future Of The Energy Grid

Dorothy Pomerantz
January 29, 2020
You can think of the electricity grid, as it has existed for more than 100 years, as a well-built Lego model, each piece fitting perfectly with the other. Electricity traveled in one direction from power plants through wires and transformers to homes and businesses, where every electron produced got consumed.

June 02, 2017

The smart-home business had a value of $47 billion globally in 2015, and it's expected to grow at 14 percent annually. But utilities need to move particularly fast in this business, according to Oliver Wyman's energy and utilities experts. New entrants, especially big tech players, are moving in with services that leverage their whiz-bang digital wear.

Eileen Claussen: Addressing Climate Change in the Absence of Policy

Eileen Claussen Center For Climate And Energy Solutions
November 10, 2014
For the past two decades, governments, companies and non-­governmental organizations concerned about climate change have looked to comprehensive global and national policy solutions.
 

While this approach makes sense — given that climate change is a global issue and market­-based national or international solutions would be far less expensive solutions than command and control approaches — an ambitious, binding international treaty has yet to materialize. And here in the U.S., climate change legislation doesn’t look likely for the foreseeable future.
