GREENVILLE, SC  (December 2, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today that it has secured an order (3Q’2024) with Dominion Energy South Carolina for the modernization of two hydropower units installed at the Saluda Hydro power plant located on the Saluda River in the Southeastern region of the United States, approximately 10 miles west of the city of Columbia, South Carolina. This modernization project will help extend the lifetime, reliability, performance, and operational flexibility of the power plant that has been generating sustainable and reliable power for almost a century.

This new collaboration builds on the long-lasting relationship between GE Vernova and Dominion Energy across all three GE Vernova business segments, Power, Wind and Electrification. Currently, around 70% of Dominion Energy’s fleet leverages GE Vernova’s technology, which can deliver the electricity needed to power the equivalent of more than 7 million households in the US.

In addition to extending the lifetime and enhancing the performance of the plant, the modernization project will help to better maintain the water quality of the Saluda River by increasing dissolved oxygen (DO) through the implementation of GE Vernova’s patented aerating turbine technology. This new equipment oxygenates the water and ensures a minimum level of oxygen, contributing to protect aquatic life and the state’s natural resources. Aerating turbines is one of many examples demonstrating how innovations are being applied to an established industry like hydropower.

Saluda Hydro is an almost-100-years-old power plant that includes five Francis hydropower units. The plant has been in commercial operation since December 1^st, 1930, and its fifth hydropower unit was added in 1971 to increase the output and capacity of the dam to 206 megawatts (MW). At the time, the hydropower dam was built to support the growth of the textile industry in Columbia through affordable and reliable energy supply, and for water supply, flood control, and recreation purposes. The construction of the dam formed a 48,000 acres reservoir called Lake Murray. Today, Lake Murray is used by many South Carolina residents for fishing, paddling, swimming, and picnicking.

"Our current turbines at Saluda Hydro have performed safely and successfully for more than 90 years," said Dominion Energy Vice President of Generation Iris Griffin. "Investing in their replacement will help maintain the facility's long-term reliability and, most importantly, continue to safely serve our customers for many years to come.”

Frederic Ribieras, Hydro Power CEO, GE Vernova, said: “Our team is delighted to bring its advanced solution to a site that has been serving the state for almost a century. This project shows that through both electricity generation and water management, hydropower can provide many benefits to communities, for a very long time”.

GE Vernova’s scope of work includes the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation of an aerating turbine to replace the Unit 1 and Unit 3 turbines, as well as the rehabilitation of the Unit 3 generator. The first unit is expected to be retrofitted by 2027. GE Vernova has been developing patented and advanced aerating hydropower turbine technology and has been at the forefront of dissolved oxygen innovation with over 20 years of Research & Development. The company implemented several projects in that space, in the United Stated and beyond, such as the High Rock project in North Carolina.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s report, hydropower currently accounts for nearly 27% of total US utility-scale renewable electricity generation and 5.7% of total US utility-scale electricity generation.

“As one of the oldest sources of renewable energy in the country, the ~100 gigawatts (GW) installed base is aging, and we see large opportunities for modernization projects to enabling to deliver even more renewable energy into the grid and help accelerate the energy transition in the country,” commented Frederic Ribieras

Paris, FRANCE (Nov 26 , 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced it has secured an order from SMS group to supply a  modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based direct feed system for SSAB’s 280 MVA electric arc furnace (EAF). The EAF will equip SSAB’s new melt shop in Oxelösund, Sweden.

This contract, which was booked in June 2024, supports SSAB’s stated commitment to delivering fossil-free steel by 2030. The EAF, supported by GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business, is designed to offer enhanced efficiency, a longer lifecycle, and reduced maintenance costs. The advanced technology is expected to help SSAB transition its steel mill to more sustainable operations.

Blast furnaces, which rely on iron ore and coke as raw materials, emit about 2.32 metric tons of CO₂ per metric ton of steel produced. In contrast, the EAF can use up to 100% scrap steel as raw material, reducing emissions to 0.67 metric tons of CO₂ per metric ton of steel. This change can represent a significant reduction in carbon emissions. 

Jan Heimann, Executive Vice President of SMS group, said, "This project is a significant step forward in our journey towards sustainable steelmaking. Powering the furnace with a fast digital control system will enable SSAB to achieve their targets in terms of power quality and efficiency. We are excited to contribute to a project that sets a benchmark for the entire industry.”

Meeting stringent grid requirements

EAFs require a high amount of electrical energy and can hence disrupt the power grid. GE Vernova’s MMC-based direct feed system uses advanced injection-enhanced gate transistor (IEGT) technology, designed specifically for EAFs, which seeks to ensure that the new electric furnace (EAF) operates smoothly and efficiently without disrupting the grid. This system uses advanced technology to maintain high power quality and reliability.

“Our power system was chosen because it helps the Oxelösund plant meet their strict electricity quality standards," said Ed Torres, Business Leader, GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business. "By using our system, the plant is expected to reduce electrical disturbances and operate more efficiently. This is a crucial step towards making steel production more sustainable and reducing carbon emissions in the industry.”

“The system includes two parallel converter lines installed at 300 and 400 meters from the EAF, directly connecting to the 34 kV bus. This setup mitigates flicker, maintains very low harmonics, and ensures a unified power factor,” he added.

The delivery and installation of the equipment are scheduled for the first half of 2026, with the EAF first heat scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

One Grid Operation plans to implement GE Vernova’s Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) for secure management of the distribution grid and Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) for managing a broad array of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as wind power, battery storage, electric vehicles, and more.

One Grid Operation plans to implement GE Vernova’s GridOS orchestration software over the next three years. The company has chosen to utilize a hybrid cloud strategy, with ADMS deployed on-premise and the other GridOS applications running in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. This strategy helps to enable One Grid Operation to meet energy demands with greater speed and agility by unlocking data, increasing visibility, and accelerating decision-making. Once the implementation is complete, the company will deliver grid control room services to owners Tensio and Linea. “This is a big and important milestone for us,” said Anna Nysetvold, CEO of One Grid Operation. “I look forward to embarking on this journey with Tensio and Linea’s skilled teams and in close collaboration with GE Vernova.”

Tensio and Linea formed One Grid Operation to achieve the highest standard of excellence when it comes to supplying electricity in Norway. Tensio is the country’s third largest power grid company and operates the regional and distribution network in the central county of Trøndelag. Linea is responsible for delivering power to over 46,700 customers in Helgeland in Northern Norway.

“The energy landscape is getting more complex by the day. Demand for electricity is at an all-time high, extreme weather events are becoming more common, and renewable but intermittent energy sources are on the rise. To deal with these types of change drivers while continuing to deliver on the efficiency and security of our supply, we clearly see the need to significantly strengthen ourselves on the technology side,” Audhild Kvam, CEO of Tensio, and Steinar Benum, CEO of Linea, noted in a joint statement. “After a lengthy market assessment, we’re pleased to announce we’ve selected GE Vernova to support us in enabling smarter, better, more efficient management of our electricity supply and operations in the years to come.”

Mahesh Sudhakaran, General Manager of GE Vernova’s Grid Software business, stated, “GE Vernova is delivering a new era of energy, and a key tenant of how we’re doing that is with our GridOS orchestration software. We’re proud to be the technology partner of choice for One Grid Operation. Our data integration team in Oslo and global power system experts look forward to advancing capabilities that’ll help Tensio and Linea deliver more secure, reliable, and sustainable electricity to their customers.”

NISKAYUNA, New York. (November 18, 2024) – GE Vernova's Advanced Research business has been selected by The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to receive an award as part of their new H2SENSE Exploratory Topic, aimed at supporting innovative approaches for hydrogen gas detection and quantification across the hydrogen supply chain. The growth of the hydrogen economy is anticipated to play a crucial role in global decarbonization efforts, necessitating advanced atmospheric hydrogen sensing technologies to mitigate any potential near-term warming effects that could result from a larger hydrogen economy.

Hydrogen is a low carbon energy source and decarbonization agent for industry and transportation. Hydrogen, though not a direct greenhouse gas due to its inability to absorb infrared light, can indirectly extend the lifetime of greenhouse gases such as methane and ozone.

“The ability to detect and quantify hydrogen will enable the safe and economical expansion of the hydrogen economy while mitigating its climate impact,” said ARPA-E Director Dr. Evelyn Wang. “These highly sensitive and selective hydrogen sensors combined with quantitative modeling will enable industry to achieve these goals.”

“GE Vernova Advanced Research will deploy a high-fidelity and cost-effective gas sensing technology based on dielectric excitation of sensing materials and will couple it with physics enhanced analytics to detect and identify hydrogen leaks at industrial sites,” says Radislav A. Potyrailo, Senior Principal Scientist with GE Vernova's Advanced Research and the Principal Investigator on the H2-LOCATE project. “This technology will differentiate and rank multiple leaks with a spatial resolution of 10 meters with a detection sensitivity of 5-10 parts per billion of hydrogen in air. The cost-effective and simple deployment of these hydrogen leak monitors will support the evaluation of hydrogen sites across diverse geographic locations and climate conditions, ensuring safe, environmentally sound, and economically viable growth of the hydrogen industry.”

This $2,700,000 project, titled "H2-LOCATE: H2 Leak LOCAlization and QuanTification Using Physics-Enhanced Analytics and Fence-Line Monitoring," is being conducted at GE Vernova's Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, NY.

The initiative underscores GE Vernova's commitment to advancing sustainable technologies and providing critical solutions to support the expanding hydrogen economy.
