Build a Reliable, Resilient, Modern Grid

Build a Reliable,

Resilient, Modern Grid.

How Avangrid can unlock grid modernization
with GE Vernova's GridOS®.

The future is now

As the energy landscape evolves, Avangrid faces growing challenges in ensuring the reliability, resilience, and cybersecurity necessary for modern grid orchestration and operational efficiency.

Each of these priorities requires advanced solutions to keep power flowing consistently, securely, and efficiently between energy sources and communities. With GE Vernova's GridOS® grid orchestration portfolio, Avangrid can put in place a complete suite of grid software applications that run on a common platform, offering more control and visibility of its grid.

GE Vernova powers, smarter, more resilient and secure grid orchestartion

Our interactive document shows exactly how our software helps energy utilities to improve reliability, maximize resilience, strengthen cybersecurity, and coordinate data better. Renewables now contribute more to energy generation, leading to greater grid complexity. Our solutions can help you simplify DER integration, enhance situational intelligence, and deliver the insight to orchestrate a more resilient grid.

Empowering tomorrow with GE Vernova

With GE Vernova's grid software applications in-house, Avangrid can modernize its grid and realize next-level results. Here are just a few outcomes utilities have seen from partnering with
GE Vernova:
Improve grid reliability
Keep the lights on amidst unpredictable renewables integration with the orchestration capabilities of GridOS AEMS, ADMS, and DERMS. As more renewable energy resources are integrated into the grid, they create new challenges in keeping the lights on. When the sun sets or winds fade, you need real-time visibility and control to maintain reliable output.

GE Vernova’s solutions help monitor energy supply, anticipate shortages, and optimize distributed energy resources (DERs) to keep the lights on.


GridOS® AEMS is a complete solution to help transmission operators proactively manage the uncertainty of renewables generation and speed recovery from extreme weather events.

GridOS® ADMS is our Advanced Distribution Management System, turning real-time data into actionable insights that drive grid reliability, resilience, and efficiency. Together with GridOS® DERMS, you can seamlessly integrate, manage, optimize, and leverage DERs, turning a complex, unpredictable network of assets into a fundamental component of the larger grid.

Maximize grid resilience
Extreme weather can cripple communities, and for a Northeastern environment like the one Avangrid serves, blizzards, severe thunderstorms, and heatwaves continually test grid resilience. Disruption planning and recovery solutions are therefore essential to help minimize outages, chaos, and damage in these environments.

GE Vernova’s Disruption Planning and Recovery solutions — GridOS® Visual Intelligence, ADMS Outage Management System, and Disruption Prepare – can help anticipate weather impacts, expedite recovery operations, and minimize damages, costs, and chaos.

Protect systems and data
Cybersecurity threats can arise from anywhere in your grid infrastructure. That’s why all GridOS solutions are built with Zero Trust grid security principles from the ground up.

Unlike bolted-on grid security solutions, the Zero Trust grid security approach assumes every user is a potential threat, even after login and validation. Strict time limits, mandatory re-validations, and real-time anomaly detection all secure systems and assets inside and out, while limiting users’ access to only what information is relevant to their respective roles.

With their
built-in Zero Trust grid security principles, GridOS solutions can help Avangrid protect its assets without sacrificing performance.

Seamlessly coordinate data
A fragmented grid means fragmented data and missed opportunities for better performance and efficiency. You need seamless visibility and coordination between transmission and distribution systems to identify where you can make improvements.

GE Vernova’s GridOS Data Fabric uses data virtualization to create an accessible directory, helping Avangrid’s operators and grid applications identify, govern, and utilize data across the entire grid.

With GridOS Data Fabric you can unlock smarter decisions, improve operational efficiency, and power end-to-end grid orchestration.
