GE Vernova: signs contract with 50Hertz in Germany

(CercleFinance.com) - GE Vernova has announced that it has signed a contract with 50Hertz Transmission, one of Germany's four transmission system operators, to supply advanced grid stabilization technology.
This technology will improve the reliability of the German power grid by integrating more renewable energy sources.

As part of the contract, GE Vernova will deliver its 300 Mvar FACTSFLEX GFM solution, a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) with grid shaping control (GFM).

This advanced STATCOM technology provides essential support for maintaining power system stability, especially as variable energy sources such as wind and solar are added to the grid.

STATCOM units are planned to be designed and manufactured at GE Vernova's facilities in Dresden (Germany) and Tampere (Finland), with additional components, including valves, supplied by Stafford (UK) and transformers by Mönchengladbach (Germany).

Two STATCOM units will be deployed at the 50Hertz substation at Siedenbrünzow in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and one STATCOM unit at the Röhrsdorf substation in Saxony.

50Hertz operates the electricity transmission network in northern and eastern Germany, which it is expanding in line with the needs of the energy transition.

GE Vernova's Grid Solutions business, said that with its STATCOM solution and Grid Forming Control, it is providing advanced solutions that help maintain the stability of the German grid as the country moves towards a renewable future. GE Vernova is at the forefront of electrification and is dedicated to creating a sustainable and resilient energy landscape.
