Operations Management Dashboard

To help you improve SAIDI and CAIDI reli-

ability metrics, GE’s control-room dashboard

solution helps you remotely monitor and

respond to outages, analyze and prioritize

alarms, and leverage advanced and causal

analysis—delivering actionable information.

Built with proven technologies, our solution

integrates, aggregates and analyzes your

data to provide a unifying, real-time, “big

picture” view of your operations as well as

the ability to drill down into root causes—

empowering operators to solve problems

more efficiently and minimize financial loss

due to downtime.

Lifecycle Management

To reduce outages caused by equipment

failures, GE’s lifecycle management

solutions can help you deploy predictive

replacement strategies with monitoring

and analytics of your transmission and

distribution (T&D) equipment, providing

information that enables quick diagnosis

and response to events.

By moving from a reactive to a predic-

tive maintenance strategy, you can better

assess and manage the health of your

assets to extend your equipment lifecycles,

reduce maintenance costs, and deliver

better return on investment.

Load Management

To help minimize the impact of peak loads

on the T&D system and limit utility spend-

ing on wholesale supply or new generation

resources, GE’s load management solutions

leverage next-generation technologies to

provide powerful analytics that can help

you more effectively predict and balance

customer loads.

With our solutions, you can rapidly identify

trends and common causes of load varia-

tions using fully integrated data visualization,

statistical analysis, modeling and reporting

to proactively manage loads—allowing for

more appropriate demand control responses

and greater efficiency and financial sustain-

ability for your utility.

Knowledge Management

To make every operator an expert and ensure

your best practices become standard operat-

ing procedures, GE’s knowledge management

solution is an industry-unique offering that can

electronically manage your work processes

and provide an audit trail for compliance.

It interactively guides your operators with

logic-based, step-by-step instructions for

actions such as switching procedures and

outage troubleshooting—helping you attain

more consistent work processes, reduce

training, and combat the “brain drain” when

your most knowledgeable employees leave

or retire.

Grid Information Manager

To help you make smarter business deci-

sions that improve operational reliability and

efficiency, GE’s grid information manager

solution enables you to gain a single view of

all your grid information management func-

tions quickly and easily.

With flexible displays and role-based views,

critical information such as wholesale

market and load analysis can be shared with

the right stakeholders across your utility—

enabling increased productivity, efficiency,

and accountability.
