We look forward to your visiting our exhibition at the Conference. You can find us at Booth 67.
For information on the products and services listed below, please visit our products and services pages at Intelligent Integration Drives Customer Operational Performance For over 80 years, utilities have relied on GE to deliver electrical products and services to meet their quality, durability and performance needs. Today, our grid and asset management suite, advanced distribution infrastructure and substation automation solutions support utilities in delivering superior customer care, system reliability, and operating efficiency. The following intelligent network management solutions will be presented in the GE exhibition space:
GE's integrated substation solutions empower utilities to automate their substation assets through control, protection, management and monitoring solutions while providing a secure perimeter for remote enterprise access to both operational and non-operational information. IEC®61850 Based Automation Solutions GE's extensive portfolio of protocols, in addition to proven IECŪ61850-based implementation for transmission and distribution applications, provides clients with truly adaptable solutions, whether upgrading, refurbishing or undertaking a complete digital substation project. Protective Relays Multilin* is a global leader in protection, control, metering, automation systems, instrument transformers, and telecommunication networks for utility and industrial applications. GE's UR Plus* range of intelligent substation devices sets the standard for the next generation of integrated solutions. Substation and Bay Level Control Products GE provides a comprehensive range of substation and bay level intelligent control solutions. With a library of over 140 substation protocols available to you, GE's substation control products continue to set the T&D industry standard for integration and adaptability. Monitoring and Diagnostic Products and Services GE's transformer monitoring and diagnostics products use state-of-the-art technology that helps customers reduce their costs by ensuring maximum performance and long-term reliability. The Hydran* and Intellix* product lines are early warning devices that alert utilities of hidden problems that could trigger equipment failures and unscheduled outages. These innovative intelligent systems monitor in real-time dissolved combustible gasses that are caused by stresses and faults in the electrical apparatus, and monitor vital transformer parameters using advanced computation models. Test Equipment and Services GE's Programma* electrical test systems are used on primary substation equipment including switchgear and circuit breakers, transformers, protective relays, battery systems and insulation systems. Reliable, portable and conceived with each user group in mind, GE's range of test systems is unsurpassed in the market today. Geospatial Solutions GE's Smallworld* product suite allows for the end-to-end support of key business processes in network inventory, engineering, field force automation, and mobile applications. The Smallworld utility design software automates the design process and manages the workflow for large volumes of designs, integrating with other key business systems such as specific analysis systems, materials management, and other ERP applications. These process solutions help utilities increase engineering productivity and decrease investments. Our Smallworld geospatial technology provides scalable, extensible and open solutions that integrate with your existing systems to leverage spatial data in new ways: throughout the enterprise and onto the Internet. Key integration includes back-end synchronization of asset data between GE's and SAP'sŪ application, and the front-end navigation between both applications for a seamless IT support for critical business processes. Field Force Automation* from GE Energy is a comprehensive solution optimizing utilities' technical field service operations, improving efficiency, quality of service, customer satisfaction, customer retention, and profitability. It supports and optimizes the scheduling and dispatch of work orders for mobile service teams for wide portfolio of operations. The Smallworld Field Information System* provides field users with vital business, network asset and map information in the field. It empowers mobile workers, ensuring they are more responsive by providing access to timely and accurate information. Field crews can update asset data in the field, create new assets and sketch redlines. It enables utilities to leverage the investment made in their geospatial inventory, and to improve the quality and efficiency of their workforce. Asset Management GE's asset management decision support software suite enables utility executives to implement the right asset strategy for improved performance, reduced operations costs and optimal return on investment. The business intelligence tools combine the analysis of reliability, cost, risk and customer satisfaction parameters to address complex business decisions across the utility enterprise. GE has comprehensive solutions for Distribution Management (DMS) and Energy Management (EMS) with an ICCP interface enabling interaction between them. ENMAC Distribution Management System (DMS) GE's ENMAC* DMS enables network operators to manage real-time operation of the distribution network, in an integrated teamwork approach that has proved to deliver 25% improvements in network performance, while at the same time reducing operating costs by 40%. ENMAC consists of integrated functional modules, which all share a single model of the complete network as one intelligent connected system. ENMAC keeps track of telemetered (SCADA), manual switching and delegated crew switching actions on current planned and unplanned work as well as managing the future work requests. Integrated Solutions ENMAC integrates SCADA, network management (replacing wall/map boards), network analysis, outage management, crew management, mobile, customer call taking and reporting within the one productized architecture on one highly resilient architecture, one database and a single graphical user interface. Out with this real time environment, ENMAC employs SOAP XML open system technology to interface to other corporate and enterprise solutions Scalability ENMAC copes with utilities from under 100,000 customers to over five million. In SCADA terms, systems exist with over four million points and there is no logical limit inherent in the software. The flexible architecture enables a single ENMAC system to be implementation across multiple control rooms in different locations, making it an ideal choice to deliver fast and substantial synergy benefits in merger acquisition situations. In addition, GE staff will be happy to present information on the following solutions: XA/21 Energy Management Systems (EMS) The XA/21* energy management system provides a large-scale, high performance generation and transmission control system used by TSOs globally. With well over one million hours of online operation, the XA/21 system has improved utilities' profitability by helping to:
Finally, GE specialists will be happy to present case studies on how major global industrial consumers based in India are gaining real business benefits from an integrated Load Dispatch strategy based upon GE's XA/21 solutions. *trademarks of General Electric Company.
