Managing man-hours
Field-force automation solutions help
crews in the field and dispatchers
at the control center maintain,
repair and service the grid more
efficiently from routine service
orders to outage restoration
activities.
The power to control demand
Demand response solutions combine smart
meters, smart appliances, traditional appliances,
home automation and heating/cooling controls to
dial down demand during peak times. GE demand
response helps keep expensive peaking generation
offline and reduces the need for new generation.
Over 100 utilities, servicing over 1.3 billion
consumers, trust GE EMS technologies for
managing transmission networks.
More than 1,000 companies in 40 countries rely
on GE's geospatial technology and advanced
engineering applications for network design.
A true view from the top
Geospatial asset management systems
give network operators a geographic
inventory of assets and a detailed, accu-
rate model of the T&D network. So you
know the status of current equipment
and you have a trusted basis for design-
ing extensions to the network and
planning grid upgrades.

A cityscape of capabilities and control
GE's smarter Distribution Management System (DMS)
gives grid operators decision-support capabilities
to maximize system efficiency, identify troubled
assets and improve network performance
and reliability.

Power to the people
GE's Wide Area Protection prevents and minimizes
power outages. Our solutions detect outages and auto-
matically reconfigure the system to restore power.
Secure high-speed communications networks share
real-time information and direct operations to
either intelligently shed load or to identify and
access additional generation. In the end, net-
works and people make the right decisions to
keep the power on to more people more often.
Our engineers know how to communicate
Delivering the wireless or wired primary communications
networks for utilities, GE's high-speed, high-bandwidth
solutions are the enabling technologies that make a real-
time, information-rich smart grid possible. From secure,
long-distance wireless networks, including WiMAX
solutions, to multi-service fiber optic
multiplexors and rugged Ethernet
switches, GE customers experience
rich, reliable communications.
