GE is partnering with Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) on Solar Project
GE Research is working with DOE and its partners on two PV Solar and Storage projects that will allow consumers to fully utilize their PV assets, reduce their demand charges, and ensure continuity of service during grid disturbances and outages.
On the first project, GE Research and GE Renewable Energy are partnering with SNL to design, build, and test a 400kWh, 2-hour C&I BESS unit. The power conversion interface to PV, Batteries, and the Grid uses GE’s leading Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices technology and grid forming controls. Grid Forming Inverters (GFMs) fitted with these advanced technologies and controls are essential in supporting and sustaining a more renewables-intensive grid.
GE scientists and engineers are also involved in a second project led by the University of Pittsburgh to help utilities gain more visibility into the level of BTM installed PV Solar generation by homes and businesses. Specifically, the GE team is developing analytics to provide utilities with reliable grid data to estimate PV Solar generation. Having greater visibility into this data will enable accurate grid forecasting as well as enhance grid stability and resiliency.
