Due to operation inefficiencies and

struggling to maintain a consistent
recovery from the Nkana
Concentrator sent to Mufulira’s

account for concentrator feed

• AusNet Network Services, Victoria, Australia’s largest
diversified energy infrastructure company came under
regulatory compliance pressure from a mandate to
modernize aging electric meters to smart meter
networks.
Solution
• Following DB Results’ advice, AusNet trusted GE’s
technology to centralize data integration on a single,
holistic platform that significantly enhanced data
visualization and empowered more efficient demand
response. By leveraging the machine learning, artificial
intelligence and semantic data modeling of GE’s product
portfolio, AusNet was able to provide a reliable, accurate
single source of truth to retailers and regulators.
Results
• GE’s technology helps ensure network and meter
uptime by providing a single pane of glass for ICT teams
and operators to be able to see asset status in real-time.
Before deploying GE’s solution, AusNet would incur
unnecessary expenses in sending multiple truck rolls
300-400 miles out into the field to investigate potential
network or meter faults.
“By leveraging GE’s technology,
we’re able to help our utilities
customers quickly unify and

and provide comprehensive, fleet-wide reporting.
Results
With the system in place, Kahramaa is now able to

Challenge
As their GE turbines were nearing end of life at their
Ravenswood and Alberta locations, TransCanada required
cleaner, more viable solutions to meet the growing power
demands of their constituency, with the Ravenswood location
serving over 20% of New York City.
Solution
TransCanada purchased GE’s Advanced Gas Path solution for
the Ravenswood power plant in New York City and the Mackay
River cogeneration facility in Alberta, replacing key turbine parts
with new components made from advanced materials developed
for GE jet engines — essentially extending the life of their
existing equipment.
GE’s AutoTune DX and Cold Day Performance were installed to
obtain even more performance from the hardware, and to ensure
robust turbine operation and emissions compliance at the
increased output levels even as weather and fuel supplies vary.
Results
Efficiencies from the engagement with GE would total
approximately $900K in annual fuel cost savings or 223,440
decatherms of fuel for the company, as well as new revenue
opportunities for Ravenswood in bidding into the power market.
The more efficiently produced power displaced less efficient
megawatts on the market with cleaner power, reducing overall
emissions for the same amount of power generated.

Challenge
The power grid architecture in the EU needs to be adapted to
accommodate significant production from renewable energy
sources, and with a focus on electric vehicle charging. This
large European power and utility provider is working to establish
a viable micro grid within defined community boundries
Solution
GE, with a group of consortium partners, drew on three key
factors to successfully balance supply and demand in the
district:
• Next-day forecasts to compare solar energy production with
consumption;
• Battery storage at key network nodes to offset any
intermittency in the supply of solar energy and absorb
consumption peaks ;
• Incentive for residential and industrial consumers to better
manage their consumption.
Expected Results
This digital solution will help the micro grid integrate renewables,
increase efficiency and promote prosumer engagement, all
serving to reduce CO2 emissions.
Distributed Energy Resource Management (DERM)

Islanding is when a

Distributed Energy Resource Management (DERM)
Challenge
A large American utility owner was experiencing a substantial increase
in the penetration of distributed generation within three of the southern
states that it served. The nature of renewable energy is volatile and
during low load periods, feeders with high photovoltaic (PV) penetration
could exhibit reverse power flows, potentially causing problems with
protection systems. Intermittent solar production could also result in
voltage swings, increasing the cycling of regulation equipment at
feeders and distribution substations.
Solution
The utility collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and
GE on two pilots:
• Leverage sensors, energy boxes and smart meters to integrate DER
with the current Distribution Management System (DMS) in order to
enhance optimal performance of the emerging distribution system
• Identify and mitigate challenges with distributed solar PV using
smart inverters and volt-VAr control. The project includes detailed
system modeling, combined with Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop
verification to compare local vs. centralized management of voltage
with utility-scale inverters located in the utility’s service territory.
Results
Delivery of a Distributed Energy Resource Management System
(DERMS) to manage and mitigate the effects of growing distributed,
renewable generation and storage capacity on the electrical system.
Large Investor
Owned Utility
Delivery of two DERM
projects, working in
conjunction with the

energy on the grid.
