GridOS® for Distribution Operate the grid as one intelligent system.GE Vernova's unified solution for grid orchestration, designed to help utilities navigate growing grid complexity driven by rising demand, more frequent and severe disruptions, and accelerating DER adoption. Orchestrate the distribution grid as one coordinated system with interoperable applications, unified data, and operational intelligence.Explore GridOS for Distribution GridOS for Distribution Overview Grid Complexities: Fragmented Systems, Data Silos, Manual Workflows Utilities today face growing operational complexity. Rising electrification demand, increasing disruptions, and accelerating DER adoption are transforming the distribution grid into a highly dynamic system. Yet many utilities still rely on fragmented systems, siloed data, and manual workflows that were never designed for modern grid operations. While utilities can operate the grid today, they are not operating it as one integrated system. GridOS for Distribution by GE Vernova changes that.

GridOS for Distribution is GE Vernova's unified solution for grid orchestration, designed to help utilities operate the distribution grid as one intelligent system. It brings together five industry-leading applications—Smallworld Geo Network Management, GridOS ADMS, GridOS DERMS, GridOS Field, and GridOS Visual Intelligence—on a single governed data foundation, GridOS Data Fabric. Powered by the industry’s #1 ADMS, #1 DERMS, and #1 grid planning analytics, GridOS for Distribution moves utilities beyond fragmented point solutions to one coordinated, intelligent system. How is GridOS for Distribution different from buying these solutions separately? The difference is integration depth. Most utilities today run their ADMS, DERMS, GIS, field, visual intelligence, and data integration tools from different vendors. These tools get stitched together with point integrations that strain under real-world conditions, especially during storms or rapid DER growth. GridOS for Distribution is engineered as a single solution on a federated data fabric, with the applications sharing one network model exchange and one governed data layer. Planners, operators, and field crews work from the same trusted view. You still get best-in-class applications. They just behave as one system. How does GridOS for Distribution integrate with our existing IT and OT systems? The GridOS Data Fabric is purpose-built for seamless integration with the IT and OT systems utilities already run — including SCADA, AEMS, AMI/MDM, CIS, and weather systems. The federated model keeps data in its system of record while providing governed, real-time access across applications, so existing investments keep working as the unified view comes together. Open standards and documented APIs ensure long-term interoperability across the broader utility ecosystem. Can we start with one use case and expand over time? Yes. GridOS for Distribution is structured around a clear orchestration journey that allows utilities to adopt capabilities progressively. The journey begins with Essentials—the foundational network model, data fabric, and situational awareness required to run a modern distribution grid—and advances through Disruption Management, Distribution Optimization, and DER Orchestration toward Distribution Intelligence. Each stage builds on the previous one. Utilities can establish a reliable foundation first, then expand into more advanced automation, optimization, and DER coordination as their readiness and grid requirements evolve. How does GridOS for Distribution support real-time grid operations? Real-time operations is one of the foundational capabilities unified within GridOS for Distribution, powered by the industry's #1 ADMS. Because ADMS is part of the unified solution rather than a standalone system, operators work from the same network model as planners and field crews, with direct access to DER orchestration and visual context. The result is faster, more coordinated execution across normal operations and major events — proven at scale by utilities like Alabama Power, which avoided more than 112 million customer minutes of interruption in 2025 alone. How does GridOS for Distribution help us manage DERs? DER management is one of the core capabilities built into GridOS for Distribution, with a dedicated DER Orchestration stage in the orchestration journey. The platform is built on GridOS DERMS, recognized by Guidehouse as the #1 grid DERMS. This enables utilities to integrate, plan, forecast, optimize, and dispatch distributed energy resources as coordinated grid assets. Because DERMS is part of the unified solution rather than a bolt-on, DER orchestration is coordinated directly with real-time ADMS operations and the underlying network model. Utilities can treat DERs as active grid resources that support reliability and flexibility, rather than as unmanaged variables that threaten system stability. How does GridOS for Distribution position our utility for long-term grid modernization? GridOS for Distribution is built for long-term adaptability. The federated Data Fabric, modular application architecture, and integration of industry-leading ADMS, DERMS, and grid planning analytics provide the foundation utilities need as electrification accelerates, DER penetration grows, and grid complexity increases. Utilities worldwide rely on GE Vernova's grid software to operate mission-critical infrastructure today — and continue to evolve it as standards, technology, and grid requirements change. GridOS for Distribution extends that proven foundation into the unified solution required for the next era of grid operations.
