Major milestone achieved! The first electrical offshore substation (OSS) in France successfully sailed away from St Nazaire in France and was installed on its jacket 12 km from the coast, on August 18th. The sheer size of this electrical substation is impressive - with its total weight approximately equivalent to the London Eye, (also known as the London Millennium Wheel), or about 280 adult African elephants - imagine that!

GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions’ Grid Automation division together with Advance Information Technologies (AIT) Corporation - an EPC contractor and system integrator for Grid Automation solutions in Vietnam - has successfully energized the Ia Le 1 substation in Gia Lai province in Vietnam, sticking to a tight 12-month schedule, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions has completed a landmark turnkey contract for a substation to power Rabigh-3 saltwater desalination plant, one of the world’s largest sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants that will supply drinking water to the Holy City of Makkah and Jeddah.

• GE Vernova has completed the largest Static Var Compensator (SVC) upgrade project for two of Norway transmission system operator Statnett’s substations
• The trial run for both substations was executed without a single interruption of service, and the stations have continued their operation into commercial service
• GE Vernova provides leading technological solutions to ever-evolving grid challenges, including the integration of more and more renewable energy, through successful implementation of its new “SmoothSine” modularized control software for SV

GE Vernova’s 245 kV Dead Tank Circuit Breaker, model DT1-245P-63-F3, has been enhanced with optional independent pole operation (IPO) with a spring-spring-operated mechanism per phase. This option for single pole operation is on top of the existing three-pole gang operated offering.

This latest enhancement further increases the capabilities of this reliable high voltage dead-tank circuit-breaker performing at 245 kV and 63 kA without transient recovery voltage (TRV) capacitors for short line faults.

• The digital HYpact switchgear—GE Vernova’s hybrid compact switchgear assembly—is the first of its kind delivered to customer DB Energie GmbH under the EU-funded IN2STEMPO project
• Technologies like this from GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions are helping the customer monitor their grid status, reduce downtime, and lower the carbon footprint at a decades-old German train station
• GE Vernova’s HYpact module includes its proven circuit breaker technology, known for its reliability
