VALLEY VISION

How GE Vernova’s GridOS® Grid Orchestration Software portfolio can help LPCs deliver your Valley Vision.

Continuing Tennessee Valley’s public power traditions in a new power utility environment

The Tennessee Valley’s Public Power Model was once simple and unidirectional, with a consistent flow of power straight from the generators to the LPCs. 

However, with the Tennessee Valley’s energy load rapidly growing, severe weather becoming more frequent, and generation becoming more distributed, the unidirectional system is changing. The Valley’s energy providers need new, advanced grid software that can identify and respond to these modern operational challenges.

GE Vernova’s GridOS software applications help utilities adapt to these new operating constraints. Utilities can optimize and simplify daily distribution operations via GridOS ADMS and DERMS, identify and optimize grid maintenance with Visual Intelligence, and better plan for storm response with insights from Disruption Prepare. All GridOS applications are underpinned by the GridOS platform, which contributes a Zero Trust grid security model for optimal cybersecurity, plus a proprietary grid data fabric for seamless data integration. 

Our team is ready to help Tennessee Valley utilities realize their Valley Vision.

Outcomes

Real-time operational data 

GE Vernova’s data products, with Zero Trust grid security principles built in, help utilities harness disparate data for forecasting, switching, emergency response, and more.

Operational efficiency 

GridOS ADMS augments existing SCADA applications with system-wide network, outage, and crew visibility to optimize network operations and outage response.

Better vegetation management

Replace cadenced inspections with risk-based intervention via GridOS Visual Intelligence, enabling better analysis, scoping, reporting and cost control.

Forecasting and planning 

GridOS Data Fabric and Connect unite real-time OT data with sensor, environment, and enterprise IT data in a simplified integration layer, supporting planning and simulation use cases.    

Optimal DER Control 

As DER integration increases, every utility needs modern control and management capabilities. GridOS DERMS offers advanced tools that help utilities visualize, monitor, and manage DERs. 

Storm response   

Disruption Prepare predicts damages up to 72 hours in advance, helping utilities properly allocate restoration resources to minimize outage duration.

Delivering power and value for The Tennessee Valley

GridOS Grid Orchestration Software portfolio can empower utilities in the Tennessee Valley region to leverage disparate data to improve daily operations, enable integrated planning, and manage multidirectional power flow across the network. Explore the links below to see how we can transform grid operations for a more reliable and flexible energy future.  
Strengthening security
All GridOS software has Zero Trust grid security principles built in, not bolted on. Our solutions assume nothing is secure and establish protocols that continuously authenticate users and limit access. This means critical utility infrastructure remains secure over time.

Unlocking real-time grid planning  
To serve the distinct needs of individual communities and customers, LPCs must have access to structured, accessible, and governable grid data. GridOS Data Fabric makes it possible to do all the above while reducing manual data stitching and unlocking full grid orchestration.

Driving grid resilience   
Managing the modern distribution grid is fraught with challenges. Increasingly severe weather causes outages – and recovery is often delayed due to operational inefficiencies. More DERs means more electrical complexities, while growing loads and increasing renewables onboarding create complex, multidirectional power flows throughout your network. GridOS ADMS offers cutting-edge tools that help orchestrate a reliable, resilient distribution grid amidst these challenges.
