GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business announced the launch of GridBeats, a comprehensive portfolio of software-defined automation solutions aimed at helping to further streamline grid digitalization and helping to enhance grid resilience.

Grid Automation Solutions

The GridBeats portfolio provides innovative digital solutions for the power grid to help tackle some of its challenges. GridBeats helps to enhance 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 help modernize grid operations, boost performance, and speed up the shift toward sustainable energy.

The portfolio includes:

  • GridBeats: Zonal Autonomous Control – This solution allows users to divide their grid network into autonomous zones, helping to enhance 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. Faster deployment helps to reduce time to value, increasing reliability and enabling flexibility for the future grid.

  • GridBeats: EnergyAPM – Helps to reduce 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 a 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 – Further maximizes 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.

 

This announcement helps to reaffirm GE Vernova's focus to providing additional solutions that meet the grid's changing needs. With more than 100 digital substations currently operational in the world, GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business is set to continue its emphasis on Grid Automation with GridBeats, helping to enhance energy management and grid reliability.
