GE Vernova’s digital business has released Fleet Orchestration, a new software solution designed to help power utilities successfully maximise the use of renewable energy.
The software helps make it possible to accelerate carbon reduction targets with existing assets without sacrificing the ability to reliably meet demand, the company said.
Fleet Orchestration uses artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced modelling to provide real-time system monitoring, including projections of how to match power generation and demand.
Designed for vertically integrated utilities that generate, transmit, and distribute power, it allows for the “seamless incorporation” of renewables with existing assets, it added.
GE Vernova’s digital business general manager for power generation and oil & gas Linda Rae said: “Renewables like wind and solar play an important role in the energy transition. They’re key to reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels.
“The challenge is that these energy sources are inherently variable – the wind doesn’t always blow, and the sun doesn’t always shine. But people always expect their lights to turn on when they flip the switch.
“This is where software solutions such as Fleet Orchestration can help reduce this uncertainty for power companies, giving them the confidence needed to ensure grid stability while simultaneously reducing emissions.”
