GE Vernova’s GridNode DER Management

Energy trends of increasing renewable penetration and decentralization of generation

assets create new industry challenges. These challenges include integration,

coordination, and maximizing return-on-investment (ROI) on distributed energy

resources (DERs), while providing network reliability and flexibility.

GE Vernova’s GridNode DER Management solution enables utilities and developers

to easily integrate renewable energy resources.

The GridNode DER Management solution includes the control and automation functions

to manage Active and Reactive Power, Power Factor, and Voltage at the point of

interconnection for your Renewable Energy Resources.

Key Benefits

• Improve Reliability by exploiting renewable generation capabilities in order to provide

optimal support to the grid

• Ease of deployment by utilizing GE Vernova’s configurable GridNode DER

Management Solution

• Increased revenue through equitable dispatch across renewable generation assets

and providing the capability to provide ancillary services to the grid such as Reactive

Power support

• Energy cost reduction through a solution that can efficiently manage, optimize and

integrate low cost renewable onto your grid

• Life extension by reducing the number of operations on distribution level voltage

transformers and capacitor banks through the optimal and flexible dispatch of your

renewable generation assets

GridNode DER Management Solution Architecture

GE Vernova’s GridNode DER Management solution monitors and controls renewable

energy assets from the point of interconnection (POI). Capabilities include being able

to receive a set-point (P,Q,V,or PF) for the POI and control the connected DER assets

to comply by dispatching them equitably, taking into account the network parameters.
