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.
