2. GE Energy Storage
GE’s energy storage business helps customers provide flexibility across the grid
by combining our expertise in plant controls, power electronics, and a variety of
battery and enclosure technologies—all backed by GE performance guarantees.
By focusing on full-system performance rather than component pieces, GE helps
customers match power production with demand in real-time and configures
the right solution to fit each site’s specific needs. GE has deep industry domain
expertise: our GE designed and built converters are installed on more than 25,000
wind turbines worldwide, and our Mark* VIe-based controls technology is already
used in approximately 30% of the world’s power generation equipment.

GE Energy Storage specializes in bringing the right
technologies together to configure custom solutions
for a variety of applications, including:
• Energy management: peak demand reduction, back-up,
photo-voltaic (PV) self-consumption, power quality.
• Transmission and distribution: capacity management,
asset deferral, frequency regulation, harmonic
suppression, voltage support, and power quality.
• Microgrid applications: grid management, PV
integration, and grid enhancement.
• Thermal and renewable power generation: virtual spin
(no emissions), ramp rate control, frequency regulation,
time shifting, voltage support, curtailment avoidance.
