GE Vernova baut zwei schlüsselfertige Synchronkondensatorstandorte zur Verbesserung der Netzstabilität im Norden des Bundesstaats New York.

(WK-intern) – GE Vernova wurde beauftragt, Synchronkondensatoreinheiten und Generator-Aufwärtstransformatoren (GSU) für zwei Umspannwerke im Norden des Bundesstaats New York zu liefern und zu installieren.

Die Synchronkondensatoreinheiten sollen dazu beitragen, das Netz zu stärken, was für die Integration erneuerbarer Energiequellen und den Übergang in eine kohlenstoffarme Zukunft von entscheidender Bedeutung ist.

Der Vertrag ist Teil des Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) von New York und unterstützt die Dekarbonisierungsziele New Yorks.

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) gab heute bekannt, dass es von der Niederlassung von National Grid im Norden des Bundesstaats New York einen Auftrag zur Lieferung und zum Bau von zwei separaten 115-kV-Synchronkondensatorstandorten in den Umspannwerken Coffeen und Taylorville des Unternehmens erhalten hat.

GE Vernova wird an jedem Standort drei Synchronkondensatormaschinen einschließlich Generator-Aufwärtstransformatoren (GSU) von Prolec GE installieren. Synchronkondensatoren spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Verwaltung von Blindleistung und Spannungsniveaus, tragen zur Stärkung des Netzes bei und gewährleisten einen effizienten Stromfluss. Sie sollen dazu beitragen, den Stromfluss zu steuern und Stromausfälle zu verhindern, indem sie die Kurzschlussfestigkeit erhöhen, die für eine konstante und zuverlässige Stromversorgung von Haushalten und Unternehmen von entscheidender Bedeutung ist.

„Diese Projekte sind ein wichtiger Teil des Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) von New York, einer größeren Anstrengung, um die ehrgeizigen Ziele des Staates New York zu erreichen, die Kohlenstoffemissionen bis 2050 gegenüber dem Stand von 1990 um 85 % zu senken“, sagte Olivier Ruiz, Regional General Manager für Grid Systems Integration – NAM bei GE Vernova. „Diese neuen Umspannwerke sollen dazu beitragen, die Stabilität und Zuverlässigkeit des Netzes zu verbessern, was für die Unterstützung des Übergangs des Staates zu einer kohlenstoffarmen Zukunft von entscheidender Bedeutung ist.“

„GE Vernova ist stolz darauf, National Grid bei dieser wichtigen Initiative zu unterstützen“, fährt Olivier fort. „Wir fühlen uns geehrt, dass unsere fortschrittliche Technologie ausgewählt wurde, um eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Stabilisierung und Zuverlässigkeit des New Yorker Stromnetzes zu spielen, was für die Integration erneuerbarer Energiequellen und die Beschleunigung der Dekarbonisierung wichtig ist.“

GE Vernova wird alle Aspekte des Projekts übernehmen, einschließlich Studien, Engineering, Projektmanagement, Gebäudebau, Geräteinstallation und Inbetriebnahme. Der Standort Coffeen in der Nähe von Watertown, New York, soll bis August 2028 fertiggestellt sein, der Standort Taylorville folgt im März 2029.

GE Vernova to build two turn-key synchronous condenser sites designed to improve grid stability in upstate New York.

GE Vernova has been contracted to supply and install synchronous condenser units and generator step-up (GSU) transformers for two substations in upstate New York.
The synchronous condenser units are expected to help strengthen the grid, which is vital for integrating renewable energy sources and moving towards a low-carbon future.
The contract is part of New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) and supports New York’s decarbonization targets.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced it has been awarded a contract by National Grid’s upstate New York business to supply and construct two separate 115 kV synchronous condenser sites at the company’s Coffeen and Taylorville substations.

GE Vernova will install three synchronous condenser machines including Prolec GE generator step-up (GSU) transformers at each site. Synchronous condensers play a vital role in managing reactive power and voltage levels, helping strengthen the grid and ensuring efficient flow of electricity. They are expected to help manage the flow of electricity and prevent power outages by increasing the short-circuit strength, which is crucial for providing consistent and reliable power to homes and businesses.

“These projects are a key part of New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), a larger effort to meet New York State’s ambitious goals to reduce carbon emissions by 85% by 2050 from 1990 levels. said, Olivier Ruiz, Regional General Manager for Grid Systems Integration – NAM at GE Vernova. “These new substations are expected to help enhance grid stability and reliability which is vital for supporting the state’s transition to a low-carbon future.”

“GE Vernova is proud to support National Grid on this important initiative,” continues Olivier. “We are honored that our advanced technology was selected to play a key role in making New York’s power grid more stable and reliable, which is important for integrating renewable energy sources and accelerating decarbonization.“

GE Vernova will handle all aspects of the project, including studies, engineering, project management, building construction, equipment installation, and commissioning. The Coffeen site, located near Watertown, New York, is expected to be completed by August 2028, with the Taylorville site following in March 2029.
