GE Vernova is proud to announce that the company has become the first manufacturer of high voltage (HV) gas-insulated substations (GIS) for SF₆-free technology at voltages greater than 54 kV to successfully complete assessment by the Energy Networks Association (ENA). This marks a huge step forward for the power industry towards its ambitions to reduce emissions and achieve its net zero goal.

GE Vernova Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business has just energized Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Transmission’s first g³ gas-insulated New Deer substation. This represents the world’s largest installation to date of g³ gas, GE Vernova’s alternative to SF₆.

• This flagship project is part of Senegal’s national electricity company Senelec’s transmission and distribution grid expansion, reinforcement and reliability enhancement program to be completed by VINCI Energies West Africa
• Substations not only supply electricity to the homes, but also manage the power flowing into the grid from various renewable energy sources
• GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions’ digital substation’s advanced functionalities, with its footprint reduced by up to 50% as well as accelera

• GE Vernova’s dual gas GIL helps high voltage grid operators prepare substations for a future SF₆ ban
• A single GIL design ensuring same performance for both SF₆ and g³ gas
• GE Vernova’s dual gas GIL embed at least 15% less SF₆ or g³ gas mass than previous versions

Thanks to their high transmission capacities and reliability, gas-insulated lines and busbars (GIL and GIB, respectively), have been in use for over half a century in power plants and in high voltage substations.

GE Vernova Renewable Energy’s Onshore Wind team and GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions Services team have joined forces to digitize the maintenance of the balance of plant (BoP) systems at eight onshore wind farms in Pakistan’s Jhimpir region.

The shift from time-based maintenance to condition-based maintenance uses GE Vernova’s Asset Performance Management (APM) grid solution to drive OPEX and CAPEX optimization and enhance the wind farms’ reliability and availability.

GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions was awarded a services contract by Edesur S.A. (Empresa Distribuidora Sur S.A.), part of Enel Argentina, to provide preventive maintenance and strategic spare parts for three key substations. Together, these substations supply power to over 500,000 homes and industries in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

• GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions to help connect this landmark project to the national grid

Morocco, February 10, 2021 – GE Vernova was awarded a contract to build two substations in the south of Morocco that will evacuate power from the Boujdour wind farm and other renewable energy projects to neighboring communities, as well as connect it to the national grid of Morocco. The project is owned and developed by ONEE (Moroccan public authority) and other private partners, and consists of a 300 MW wind farm.

Aware of the challenges faced by substation operators and owners and with the quest to help improve their business outcomes, GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions has launched Flexible Service Agreements (FlexSA) portfolio offering.
