GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business designs energy conversion

systems that provide tailor-made solutions for mission-critical applications

Power Conversion provides customized

solutions for reliable applications

Power Conversion’s pumped stoarge power plant (PSPP)

portfolio includes variable speed drive solutions such as

AC-excitation systems with 3kV and 6kV converter drives,

fully-fed applications, fixed speed solutions with start-up

equipment as well as DC-excitation systems.

We offer all power conversion and grid integration equipment

for large hydropower plants, such as pumped storage, river

and tidal applications, from planning and optimization to

manufacturing, installation and commissioning, and lifelong

services and consultancy.

Power Conversion – a global partner

with a local footprint

Our regional presence with key facilities and the right

partners allows us to support your hydro business

worldwide.

All regions are directly connected to our Center of

Excellence (CoE) for hydro pump storage in Berlin, Germany,

where we bundle competencies and use our knowledge

to focus on the best solutions for our customers. Due to

regional manufacturing, engineering and service facilities in

the US and Europe we can deliver tailor-made solutions with

high domestic content.

Engineered solutions for complex drive and control applications

PROVEN DRIVES CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

If you currently rely on vintage SFC drive controls like

VME or Syconumdrive controller, you cannot ignore

the risk of obsolescence. A reliable and cost-effective

upgrade can save you the time and expense of a

complete system’s replacement.

This simple upgrade will modernize your controls and

data interfaces, substantially improving control

capabilities and performance. Extensive diagnostics

and comprehensive testing can make systems easier to

maintain, with GE’s outstanding drive services helping

you get the greatest possible value from your MV drives’ controls.

The external control interface -GE’s P80i Control

System toolbox-is widely considered as one of the best

tools for configuring, troubleshooting and maintaining

legacy SFC drives and controls.

IMPROVED CONTROL CAPABILITIES & PERFORMANCE

A well planned and executed upgrade by GE Power

Conversion experts can save time and cost of an

extensive system replacement and help you extend the

life of critical power equipment.

The Intellix™ MO150 transformer monitoring system, from GE Energy, is an intelligent, cost-effective

solution which provides comprehensive monitoring and interactive transformer condition diagnostics,

to provide early warning of incipient failure conditions.

Based on field-proven technology, the Intellix MO150 uses various sensors such as the Hydran™ and

state-of-the-art transformer mathematical models based on IEEE® or IEC® standards, to provide real

time information on the overall performance of the transformer to assist utility operations managers

and system operators in making critical decisions.

Key Benefits

On-line monitoring and performing real-time, transformer diagnostics can help reduce the risk of

unexpected and sometimes catastrophic failures. This also helps you avoid expensive replacement

and clean-up costs, unplanned downtime and overall improvement in asset. Reliability. Early detection

of potential transformer problems is vital tothe lifespan extension of critical transformers and brings

significant business and operational benefits:

• Reduce inspection and maintenance costs by confidently stretching out the time between routine

maintenance activities

• Optimize equipment life by monitoring cooling system performance

• Reduce the probability of an unplanned outage with continuous condition monitoring

• Provides greater lifespan confidence through the use of on-line model computation providing real

time transformer condition information

• Defer major replacement costs by optimizing your transformer’s performance and extending its

lifespan
