GE's energy-saving amorphous technology
is reducing waste in millions of transformers
throughout the world.
650,000 of the world's critical electrical assets
­generators, transmission lines, motors ­ are
protected by GE's Multilin devices.
Transforming efficiency and reliability
A smarter grid means more efficient transformers
and a smarter way to track aging assets through-
out your grid. New amorphous transformers use
GE technology to slash no-load losses and
increase the efficiency throughout your delivery
system. GE's Asset Optimization technologies
monitor the health of older transformers. Using
physical performance characteristics to identify
assets at risk, you can make repairs or
replace transformers before they
cause outages.

Knowing what's up
and isolating what's down
Outage Management Systems
(OMS)
restore power faster when
unforeseen problems cause out-
ages. Automated solutions, like
Fault Detection, Isolation and
Restoration (FDIR), determine the
location of an outage, isolate it
and then route power to minimize
the number of customers
affected. Smart OMS solutions
can also determine the cause of
the outage and dispatch properly
equipped repair crews more
efficiently ­ to get the power
back on faster.
Substations connecting like never before
GE's digitized substations enable utilities to define
the performance requirements for their substations and
create a standardized, proven configuration of power-
control and information technologies to streamline substation
construction, management and maintenance. You get predictable
performance and real-time information exchange with centralized
network systems. And you can build substations faster, more cost-
effectively and with reduced risk.
Trimming delivery losses
Innovative solutions, like GE's Volt/VAR
technology
, can reduce energy waste
by adjusting voltage and reactive power
on distribution lines in response to
demand from users. So you deliver
a more precise level of power with
reduced losses to meet real-time needs.
Better understanding the true reactive
power status frees up line capacity and
reduces the need to invest in additional
generation and substations.
Stability over the long haul
GE's EMS solutions keep the power flowing efficiently
and reliably through transmission lines. Wide Area
Monitoring Systems (WAMS) synchronize phase angles
to maximize line capacity and maintain stability. With
more accurate condition understanding and manage-
ment, we help you stop potential problems before they
occur and prevent catastrophic cascading outages.
Smarter software uses capacity knowledge to flexibly
integrate clean power from concen-
trated solar facilities and large
wind plants.
