Renewable energy sources will have a bigger play in the energy mix, making the network more susceptible to variations. GE has the capability to offer end to end turnkey microgrid solutions that can include individual build blocks such as controls and BESS up to full turnkey solutions. We´ve been supporting utilities throughout our entire history and through leveraging multiple GE businesses we provide an even more comprehensive solution.
The demand for energy is constantly increasing. The need to integrate renewable resources is growing. With the growing integration of renewables to the grid, you need greater dispatchability to support network stability and maintain system reliability.
Extreme events like unplanned outages, brown-outs, and blackouts, are increasing—in both frequency and intensity.
You're experiencing reliability challenges as a result of the decentralization of the energy supply, which creates bi-directional power flows. You're installing more distributed generation assets, at an increasingly faster pace. With increased system complexity, you’re realizing a greater need for digitization and enhanced communication capabilities.
Our solutions are flexible, scalable, and configurable to support your specific needs. From a first equipment pilot to a full end-to-end solution, or anywhere in between, we can help bring your utility into a new era of opportunity. Our broad experience lets us better understand your needs as we develop a path to achieve your desired outcome. We bring a complete range of technologies and industry knowledge together to enable cleaner, safer, more competitive, and more efficient operations for your utility.
