GE has developed non power electronic based FACTS solutions that offer grid operators the ability to enhance controllability, and improve the stability and power transfer capability of AC transmission systems. In recent years, utility operators have become more interested in solving their transmission system concerns and issues without the use of power electronic based solutions, instead opting for more traditional electro-mechanical solutions that are both grid friendly and reliable.

Variable frequency transformers provide transmission solutions for a smarter grid, enabling transmission system operators to control power flows between power grids with high reliability, speed and efficiency, while offering flexibility in how utilities provide power to meet customers’ demand.

GE's experience in series compensation systems date back to 1928, when GE pioneered this technology with the first installation on the emerging US transmission grid. Since then GE has installed more than 130 systems globally, representing more than 50 GVAr of compensation.

GE offers grid operators a simple and reliable solution to address VAR and voltage control requirements - without the use of power electronics. GE’s newly re-designed Synchronous Condenser is a proven, robust and reliable solution that provides steady state and dynamic support to the power system while eliminating the concern of control interactions and providing improved ride-through capability for prolonged system disturbances.

Industrial Solutions offers a comprehensive solution for the high voltage yard, transformer(s), secondary equipment and Balance Of Plant (BOP) portion of the substation. Our scope includes Design Engineering, Drafting, Documentation Services, Electrical/Electronic Equipment, Equipment/Material Procurement, Project Management, Site Technical Leader, and Field Engineering for Technical Direction and Commissioning. We offer these services as an Engineered Equipment Package (EEP) which does not include construction, or as an Engineer Procure and Construct Package (EPC) better know as a "turn-key" package. Our experience evident in the 650+ substation projects completed to date.
