EU Funding Accelerates GE’s Development of World’s First SF6-free 420 kV Circuit-Breaker

  • EU's LIFE program recognizes potential of GE's Green Gas for Grid (g³) to help significantly cut global greenhouse gas emissions
  • The gas mass of g³ high-voltage products has more than a 99% reduced CO₂ equivalent compared to SF6
  • A g³ 420 kV, 63 kA gas-insulated substation circuit-breaker will demonstrate that g³ technology can be applied to all other high-voltage levels of Europe's electrical networks

Paris, FRANCE – February 13, 2020 — GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business (NYSE-GE) has been awa

EU supports GE’s development of a 245 kV g³ circuit-breaker to accelerate decarbonization of Europe’s electrical grid

  • EU’s LIFE program recognizes potential of GE Renewable Energy’s g³ insulating and switching gas as an alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) to help significantly cut global greenhouse gas emissions
  • This is the second GE g³ gas project to be co-funded by the EU within two years
  • New g³ gas 245 kV circuit-breaker will be scalable to other high-voltage levels across Europe’s electrical grids and help utilities get ready for stricter fluorinated (F)-gas regulations

Three Electrical Offshore Platforms Sailed Away in Three Months for GE Offshore Wind Customers

Good things come in threes at GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business!

Over the past three months, three offshore electrical platforms with GE Grid Solutions’ technology successfully sailed away from ports in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, to be installed at sea. GE Grid Solutions’ Alternating Current (AC) Systems division in charge of turnkey projects is leading the project management, design, system integration, installation and commissioning of those electrical high-voltage electrical systems.

Introducing the Next Generation in Controlled Switching Solutions

Point-on-wave switching is a technique used in operating AC system switchgear and circuit-breakers to mitigate power system transients and electrical stresses that commonly occur with the switching operation. If not properly managed, these transients can cause equipment damage or failure, power quality issues, or instability in the power system and connected networks.

GE’s Grid Solutions Eco-design team delivers 1st certified Product Environmental Profile (PEP) for GE Renewable Energy’s onshore wind turbine

As the global energy transition continues, customers and regulators increasingly require specific information about a product’s environmental footprint. GE’s Eco-design team addresses that need by offering a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) which includes manufacturing information about a product, like the impact of materials production and factory energy consumption and emissions; distribution, including packaging production and transportation; use, in terms of power consumption and maintenance; and end-of-life disposal. The PEP is the document provided once the LCA is done.

GE’s g3 technology accelerates Denmark’s decarbonization efforts

  • GE has been awarded a contract from Energinet for two F35g 145 kV SF₆-free g3 gas-insulated substations (GIS)
  • g3 substations will be installed at the Amagerværket (AMV) and Vigerslev Koblingsstation (VIK) substations, both in Copenhagen
  • Upon completion, AMV will have 22 bays making it the largest gas-insulated substation installation using GE’s g3 gas at the 145 kV level worldwide
