GE Power Launches New Innovations At CIGRE 2018 Including Revolutionary HVDC Control System – Aug 28, 2018 – Paris, France (Techreleased) – The role of the grid is experiencing a pivotal change. GE Power’s Grid Solutions business (NYSE: GE) today unveiled product innovations at CIGRE 2018 to address customers’ needs to adapt to a more digitalized, decentralized and decarbonized energy landscape.
In the past, a simpler grid model transmitted electricity from large generation plants to end users.

“The global energy landscape is undergoing a massive transformation. The grid of the future will require smarter, faster and more interoperable solutions to ensure resiliency, efficiency and security. That’s why our Grid Solutions team is focused on investing in and delivering new digital, automation and HVDC technologies to transform energy networks across the globe. Our new product innovations will help our customers not only navigate the ever-changing energy landscape, but also unleash the full potential of electric grids worldwide,” said Reinaldo Garcia, president and CEO of GE Power’s Grid Solutions business.
