GE Research and Prolec GE Power Up World’s 1st Large Flexible Transformer to Enhance the Resiliency of America’s Grid

  • 100MVA flexible transformer has begun a 6-month field demonstration at a Cooperative Energy substation in Mississippi as part of a project through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity
  • Represents next generation of hardware required to support higher penetrations of renewable power on the grid
  • Will improve grid resiliency by offering more flexibility for fault management, frequency and voltage regulation through an online adjustable impedance
  • Poised to replace an aging U.S.

GE’s g3 technology to accelerate decarbonization efforts in Sweden

  • GE has been awarded a contract for Sweden´s first SF6 free 145 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS)
  • g3 switchgear will be installed at the Vattenfall Eldistribution AB Lindhov substation in Tumba
  • 25 leading electrical utilities have already adopted GE’s g3 products for their high voltage networks, avoiding the addition of more than a million tons of CO₂ equivalent to the grid
