networks.
GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business (NYSE:GE), today announced
the launch of GridBeats, a comprehensive portfolio of
software-defined automation solutions aimed at streamlining grid
digitalization and enhancing grid resilience.
Amid growing climate concerns, grid operators worldwide are
responding to regulatory, consumer, and societal demands to achieve
net-zero emissions and deepen their commitment to sustainability.
Realizing these goals presents significant challenges, such as
limited visibility into an aging infrastructure, inadequate control
mechanisms, and a lack of fast, reliable, and deterministic
communication.
The GridBeats portfolio provides innovative digital solutions
for the power grid to tackle these challenges. GridBeats enhances
grid resilience and reliability with faster controls, artificial
intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)-based automation, and
improved cybersecurity. It improves visibility across the grid,
from larger areas down to specific equipment, thanks to precise
sensors and dependable communication networks. With
software-defined automation, it also offers greater flexibility.
With these features and more, GridBeats aims to modernize grid
operations, boost performance, and speed up the shift toward
sustainable energy.
The portfolio includes:
- GridBeats: Zonal Autonomous Control – This cutting-edge
solution allows you to divide your grid network into autonomous
zones, enhancing resilience and reliability when disruptions
occur.
- GridBeats: Integrated Digital Substation – Features
modern top-down engineering tools, software-defined centralized
protection and control, and advanced wide-area applications. Fast
deployment reduces time to value, increasing reliability and
enabling flexibility for the future grid.
- GridBeats: EnergyAPM – Reduces downtime and maintenance
costs through predictive and prescriptive diagnostics that utilize
both online and offline operational data and physics-based digital
twins of assets.
- GridBeats: Device Management – Increases visibility
across your entire fleet down to the individual secondary asset
level. With technologies such as auto-detection, remote
provisioning, and health monitoring, this solution enhances system
reliability and reduces operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.
- GridBeats: Network Management System – Maximizes your
communications network's return on investment (ROI) by increasing
system throughput and uptime, improving the utilization of
networked devices, and enabling you to discover, monitor, and act
on your multi-vendor network.
"With the ongoing emphasis on climate change, we are witnessing
the most significant transformation of the grid in over a century,”
said Nicolas Gibergues, Grid Automation Senior Executive &
Business Line Leader, at GE Vernova's Grid Solutions. “In
response, GE Vernova has rolled out GridBeats, a suite of Grid
Automation software solutions designed to assist utilities in
adapting to these changes while ensuring their grid operates
smoothly."
