  • Turbine will serve as the research turbine for ongoing and new joint research projects between GE Vernova and NREL

  • This event underscores the potential for government and private sector cooperation to drive innovation and progress in critical areas of energy research

NISKAYUNA, New York (December 19, 2024) – Signaling a significant alliance in the energy transition landscape, GE Vernova’s (NYSE: GEV) Advanced Research Center (ARC) has supplied a 3.4-140m, 81m hub height wind turbine to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). This transaction represents a deeper, strategic relationship aimed at enabling groundbreaking collaborative research using GE Vernova's assets - underscoring the potential for government and private sector cooperation to drive innovation and progress in critical areas of energy research.

GE Vernova’s 3.4 MW-140m wind turbine will serve as the research platform with NREL, the leading US government laboratory on wind research, in a project funded through a Department of Energy (DOE) solicitation. The fields of exploration encompass several critical areas, each aimed at advancing wind technology and energy systems, including grid testing, installation and services technologies, sensors and controls, mechanical systems, advanced aerodynamic solutions, direct current (DC) coupling and battery energy storage systems (BESS), and hydrogen electrolyzers to improve energy efficiency and storage. These areas align with GE Vernova’s strategic priority to facilitate widescale deployment of large-scale wind energy systems – key to which are advancements in sensors that expand observability, advanced models that capture complex atmospheric and structural behaviors, and sophisticated algorithms and analytics that optimize turbine coordination and resilience.

“By integrating GE Vernova’s 3.4 MW-140m wind turbine into ongoing and new joint research projects, NREL and GE Vernova can accelerate the development of these critical technologies,” says Matt Guyette, Strategy and Product Leader of GE Vernova’s Wind business, “with the aim of making large-scale wind energy systems more accessible and efficient.”

This transaction enables both organizations to leverage each other's expertise and resources to drive innovation and advance critical wind technologies - creating a platform for groundbreaking research that would be difficult to achieve independently. “GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center’s provision of this turbine to NREL for use in energy research is crucial for advancing wind technologies and accelerating decarbonization efforts for both organizations," says Rogier Blom, Renewables Breakthrough Technologies Leader at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center.

Integração para a descarbonização: respostas para desafios do setor elétrico no Brasil

11 min read
Images of a gas turbine, a dam, wind turbines, an energy storage unit, and an electrical station.

 

Em novembro deste ano, a matriz elétrica brasileira atingiu o marco de mais de 228 GW em capacidade instalada, sendo uma das maiores e mais diversificadas globalmente. A participação de fontes de energia renováveis ​​como hidrelétrica, eólica, solar e biomassa, respondem por mais de 90% do total, fazendo do Brasil o país do G20 que possui a matriz elétrica com maior uso de energias renováveis, de acordo com estudo da Ember Climate

Essa realidade é bastante favorável para o país, principalmente no contexto da transição energética, que almeja ajudar no combate às alterações climáticas resultantes do aquecimento global. Uma das maneiras de limitar esse aquecimento é justamente por meio da descarbonização, ponto fundamental da transição.

No Brasil, o setor de energia não é o principal emissor de carbono. De acordo com um estudo da Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE), em 2022, estima-se que a produção e o uso de energia tenham correspondido a apenas 24% das emissões brasileiras de gases de efeito estufa (GEE), número explicado pela matriz energética diversificada e com ampla participação de fontes renováveis. Contudo, a descarbonização do setor elétrico é chave tanto para reduzir ainda mais sua participação direta nas emissões, quanto para apoiar os demais setores que precisam de eletrificação e descarbonização, como o setor de transporte, unindo esforços para ajudar a combater o aquecimento global.

Diante disso, o crescimento de fontes como a eólica e a solar segue como um dos principais pilares da descarbonização, inserindo ainda mais energia renováve na matriz que apoiará as demandas por uma eletrificação eficiente e sustentável. Há algumas décadas, essas fontes – até então consideradas alternativas – ainda não figuravam nas estatísticas de geração de energia com os primeiros projetos sendo iniciados apenas no final dos anos 2000. Hoje, a realidade é bem diferente, e essas mesmas fontes já respondem por mais de 20% da matriz elétrica brasileira, número que deve chegar aos 23% em 2028, segundo a projeção do Operador Nacional do Sistema (ONS).

INTEGRAÇÃO É CHAVE PARA A DESCARBONIZAÇÃO

Espera-se que o crescimento da geração eólica e solar continue especialmente considerando os objetivos da transição energética. Contudo, esse crescimento vem acompanhado de grandes desafios, dada a intermitência característica dessas fontes, por exemplo, considerando que há períodos nos quais os ventos não estão soprando com todo seu potencial e o sol deixa de incidir sobre os parques solares.

Para equilibrar o sistema, outras fontes entram em ação e destacam a importância de seu papel ao complementar a rede elétrica conforme a demanda, fornecendo energia despachável. Uma dessas fontes é a hidráulica, que detém a maior participação na matriz elétrica do país, sendo sua principal fonte de energia renovável há décadas e uma grande aliada da transição energética. Cláudio Trejger, CEO da unidade de Hydro Power para a América Latina, alerta para o fato de que as usinas hidrelétricas brasileiras estão operando há décadas e é fundamental investir também na modernização delas. Esse tipo de serviço ajuda a prolongar a vida útil desses ativos, melhorando a eficiência e otimizando a utilização do recurso hídrico disponível para atender à demanda de eletricidade no país. “Existe uma grande oportunidade para aumentar a potência em várias usinas, porém as geradoras não têm explorado esta possibilidade, pois aguardam a revisão das regras vigentes. A modernização ajuda a aumentar a eficiência e tornar a usina estar disponível por mais tempo, oferecendo maior segurança ao fornecimento de energia. Para isso, nossos times trabalham integrando serviços e tecnologias para otimizar as operações de hidrelétricas como no caso da maior atualização tecnológica da Itaipu Binacional (segunda maior usina hidrelétrica do mundo), e do projeto de modernização da Usina Hidrelétrica de São Simão. Também gostaria de destacar a possibilidade de implantar Usinas Reversíveis, tecnologia oferecida pela GE Vernova, e que pode assumir um importante papel no programa de transição energética do país”, disse Cláudio.

Outra fonte que também tem a capacidade necessária de despacho para complementar as fontes intermitentes e apoiar a atuação da fonte hidráulica, em especial quando o país enfrenta crises hídricas, é o gás natural. Daniel Meniuk, VP de Serviços para América Latina para Gas Power, afirma que “no Brasil, as termelétricas modernas a gás natural, como as usinas do Complexo AzulãoPorto de Sergipe I, fazem a diferença ao ajudar a complementar e a manter nossa rede estável, oferecendo energia segura, confiável e cada dia mais sustentável dada a melhoria constante da tecnologia utilizada." Segundo ele, além de fornecer uma fonte confiável e complementar à geração renovável, as emissões de turbinas a gás podem ser ainda mais reduzidas no futuro usando hidrogênio como combustível e tecnologias de captura de carbono. "No portfólio da GE Vernova, já temos turbinas a gás natural capazes de queimar hidrogênio, de acordo com a demanda do cliente e a infraestrutura da planta. Um exemplo disso ocorre na planta DeBary da Duke Energy, que deve se tornar uma das primeiras usinas de energia em operação comercial a produzir, armazenar e queimar 100% por volume de hidrogênio verde para aplicações relacionadas aos picos de energia", conclui.

MAIS QUE UMA GERAÇAO EFICIENTE, ESTABILIDADE NA ENTREGA

Se a integração de diferentes fontes precisa ser muito bem orquestrada para permitir o crescimento sustentável das fontes renováveis sem prejudicar o abastecimento de energia, gerenciar a qualidade da operação da rede, com foco na estabilidade e segurança da rede elétrica, também é fundamental.

“A rede elétrica é uma das invenções humanas mais complexas que existem. E quando a gente tem mais eólica e solar entrando, a gente tem flutuações de rede e, consequentemente na qualidade da energia que está sendo entregue em todo o país. Por isso, essa rede tem que ser monitorada e condicionada”, afirma Renato Yabiku, CTO para América Latina na unidade de Power Conversion. “A GE Vernova traz um portfólio completo de soluções (hardwares e softwares), desde a geração até a parte de estabilização, seja por meio de programas de orquestração da rede. Como exemplo, destaco os compensadores síncronos, equipamentos que servem justamente para aumentar a capacidade e a estabilidade do Sistema Interligado Nacional (SIN), oferecendo maior qualidade e segurança à transmissão de energia elétrica mesmo em condições adversas. Essa tecnologia ajuda a evitar interrupções e apagões e complementa outras como o STATCOM,  que é uma espécie de inversor conectado à rede para dar potência de forma reativa, contribuindo para a estabilização”, explica.

Nesse sentido, Sergio Binda, Líder de Grid Automation para a GE Vernova na América Latina, reforça que a empresa também possui soluções digitais e integradas com poder de computação aumentada, desenvolvidas para gerenciar a rede, visando maior segurança, confiabilidade, capacidade e resiliência na transmissão de energia. “Quando pensamos em uma solução para a rede, inclusive visando a estabilização, existem tecnologias para dar respostas a eventos como uma falha ou um curto-circuito. Esses pacotes de software, como o GridOSGridBeats, por exemplo, oferecem modelos adequados para cada um dos equipamentos”, afirma. Binda ainda destaca que essas soluções próprias trazem mais valor e uma resposta mais assertiva e segura para aqueles que geram energia e operam o sistema.

GE Vernova’s first Haliade-X offshore wind turbine installed at sea begins producing power

5 min read
  • Turbine is one of the first of the next generation 13 MW+ wind turbine generators to become operational at sea and the largest ever installed in European waters
  • Milestone follows three years of testing
  • Dogger Bank Wind Farm will be largest in the world and capable of supplying the equivalent of 5% of UK’s electricity demand when completed

Teesside, UK: October 10th, 2023 – GE Vernova’s Offshore Wind business announced today that its first ever Haliade-X offshore wind turbine installed at sea began producing power as part of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm located 130 km off the UK coast. The turbine was one of the first of the next generation wind turbine generators at 13 MW+ to become operational at sea and the largest ever installed in European waters.

The 13 MW Haliade-X turbine was the first of 277 turbines that will be installed at the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm that will be the largest in world when completed. The Dogger Bank Wind Farm, which is being built in three phases - Dogger Bank A, B, and C – will use a mix of 13 and 14 MW Haliade-X turbines to power the equivalent of 6 million UK households or about 5% of the UK’s electricity demand.

GE Vernova's Offshore Wind business CEO Jan Kjaersgaard said, "Energizing the first Haliade-X at sea is another important step in the evolution of the offshore wind industry. The Haliade-X was designed to provide clean, reliable renewable energy at scale to projects such as Dogger Bank. It is exactly the kind of innovative technology GE Vernova will rely on to continue to electrify the world while simultaneously working to decarbonize it."

When the Haliade-X was introduced in 2018 it was the first 12MW + offshore wind turbine in the industry. It was designed as part of a platform that enabled it to evolve to meet the industry’s need for more efficient turbines capable of producing more power with the same amount of wind.

In developing the Haliade-X, GE Vernova’s Offshore Wind business relied on unprecedented collaboration across the GE portfolio, leveraging the knowledge of GE Onshore Wind, LM Wind Power, GE Power, GE Aviation, GE Digital and the company’s Global Research Center.

A prototype of the Haliade-X has been operating on land in the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands for over three years. The Haliade-X received independent certification from DNV to operate at up to 14.7 MW as a result of extensive testing conducted on the prototype.

In addition to supplying power to the historic Dogger Bank Wind Farm, the Haliade-X will also be used as part of the 800 MW Vineyard Wind project that will become the first utility scale wind farm in the US and the Ocean Wind I project in New Jersey.
