GE Power Conversion has secured an order for Network Rail for upgrade of the existing phase balancer control and cooling system at their Rail Innovation and Development Centre in Melton Mowbray, UK.The scope of supply is upgrade of the control and cooling system including design, manufacture, delivery, installation and commissioning and incorporation of a GE Visor facility for remote diagnostics.The upgrade will enable testing of innovative technology for the rail infrastructure, in addition to delivering enhanced performance of the system itself.GE Power

GE Power Conversion and GE Marine will showcase their power and propulsion solutions at this year’s Euronaval 2022 industry exhibition in Paris, October 18-21, 2022, Booth F91. GE Power Conversion will showcase electrification technologies that are helping the world’s leading navies to energize their missions with very high levels of power-sharing flexibility. Solutions range from full naval-specification, high voltage electric grids for power and propulsion, to cost-effective hybrid electrification options.

GE Power Conversion will supply power and propulsion, dynamic positioning, and vessel control systems for two new wind farm service vessels

GE Power Conversion, in partnership with Sulzer Electro Mechanical Services (EMS), announced the supply of a custom built synchronous motor for end-user Phoenix Cement Company, which operates under the Salt River Materials Group (SRMG). The motor, a 1,500 hp, 30-pole synchronous motor with collector rings, provides 20% greater power capacity than its predecessor – without causing unnecessary downtime for installation.

GE’s MV7000 drive provides sensor functionality for asset health remote monitoring, at India’s L&T-MHI Power Turbine Generators Private Limited high speed dynamic balancing tunnel. The upgrade includes GE’s scalable RXi-142 controller, a flexible and cyber-secure solution to meet customer requirements. Digital asset performance management enables improved reliability during long cycle dynamic balancing process.

GE awarded contract for Australia’s Gold Coast Light Rail project, - the 6.7km third stage of the world-class public transport system.

At the end of February, GE Power Conversion signed a major contract with SNCF Réseau as part of the Eole project, extending the express regional train network’s E line (RER E) to the West. The contract includes the turnkey supply of 4 STATCOM systems/High Voltage Boosters (HVB) as well as the maintenance of the equipment in operational conditions for a period of 10 years, in order to contribute to the sustainability of the overall performance of the operation. The project’s main stakes:

GE and its partners mark the success of two innovation projects helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector through cleaner fuels and energy efficiency measures. A new, collaborative design for up to 10MW solid oxide fuel cell systems to provide electric power for large ships has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 47%. A digital solution aimed at energy management to help reduce emissions at ports has been tested using an emulated digital twin platform
