Distribution Control Center Software Modernization

GE Power, software solutions division is a software technology unit dedicated to deliver state-of-the art grid control center technology for utility system operators to manage the grid. With the aging grid network infrastructures in the US, severe weather problems causing power outages and the advancement of new technology to improve network reliability, utilities are investing in grid modernization. Distribution power grid management software is the central system to consolidate and process massive amount of measurements in real-time to monitor, control and optimize the network. This central system includes the integration of grid technologies such as SCADA, network topology model, distribution energy resources (DER), advanced metering infrastructures (AMI), fault detectors, reclosers, two-way capacitors and sensors to enable automated system operations such as close-loop power grid controls using fault isolation and service restoration and Load Volt-VAR management applications.
