Ge Power (NYSE: GE)

New York-based GE Power (NYSE: GE) has witnessed the expansion of distributed energy systems reflected in the shifting expectations of its customers that are demanding more customization, flexibility, and convenience over their energy needs. And GE Power is committed to helping its customers meet these demands in the form of physical products like modular and scalable aero-derivative gas turbines, customized distributed energy solutions, new energy storage technologies, and services like microgrid and grid optimization solutions.

This step toward decentralized energy systems has accelerated due to the rise of digital technologies and improved economics. For some geographies, it can be less expensive to install and operate with on-site power generation and microgrids than it is to achieve and maintain access to centrally-generated power. Several regions and industries operate with an amalgamation of centrally-generated and distributed energy resources, which sometimes demonstrate a blend of energy technologies such as solar and wind to gas and even nuclear. And in both developed and developing areas, decentralized distributed power generation and energy production provides a wide array of benefits such as improved access, resiliency, and efficiency.

GE Power develops the next-generation energy technologies and improves the power networks that consumers depend on today. The company contributes to one-third of the world’s electricity and equips 90 percent of power transmission utilities across the globe, and GE's software manages 40 percent of the world’s energy.

End-to-End Digital Energy Solutions

The union of industrial with digital is transforming the way we live. Decentralization, digitization, decarbonization, and democratization are the trends that are disrupting the environment and driving the need for digital industrial software and services. In return, energy needs to be more reliable, sustainable, secure, and efficient.

The energy landscape will change in the coming years and in addition to the growth of digital power solutions, power generation will become more complex and encompass a diverse range of sources. Renewable energy will expand exponentially, and with more people installing solar and scrutinizing the origins of their electricity, a new type of customer is emerging.

GE Power combines operational software with analytics to optimize its customers’ network. By creating a common data fabric, making applications modular, layering in machine learning, and taking a distributed approach with architecture and execution, the company helps its customers achieve network-level optimization.
Network-level optimization is a single source of truth for the electric delivery system, a cohesive, all-encompassing model of equipment, wiring, devices, and other grid components, as-designed and as-operated. It is a digital brain that leverages data across the enterprise to achieve new levels of productivity and profitability.
