The Modernizers: At CIGRE 2022 in Paris, GE Spotlights Its Holistic Approach to Grid Modernization
For the first time in more than 100 years, the global energy landscape is undergoing a massive transformation. The way we generate, transport, distribute, and consume electricity will change more in the next 10 years than it did in the previous 125. What was once an orderly, monolithic system pushing power out to the people, the electric grid is transforming into a two-way highway of energy from diverse sources — including wind and solar — which present new challenges to grid stability and reliability.
- Le prototype de disjoncteur g3 420 kV pour postes isolés au gaz de GE prouve que la technologie g3 peut être appliquée au plus haut niveau de tension utilisé en Europe, et répliquée sur les autres niveaux de tension utilisés dans le monde.
- Le recours au gaz d’isolation des appareillages de coupure g3 pour remplacer le SF6, qui est un gaz à effet de serre puissant, permet de réduire le potentiel de réchauffement global (PRG) de plus de 99 %.

- GE’s g3 420 kV gas-insulated substation (GIS) circuit-breaker prototype demonstrates that g3 technology can be used at Europe’s highest voltage level, as well as other global voltage levels
- The use of g3 switching and insulation gas to replace SF6, a potent greenhouse gas, helps reduce the global warming potential (GWP) by more than 99%
- The LifeGRID project, co-funded by EU’s LIFE Programme, puts GE’s Grid Solutions at the forefront of the industry’s effort to create a cleaner grid.

Grid Expectations: ARPA-E Award Aims To Speed Up The Decarbonization Of America’s Power Infrastructure
The energy transition to a less carbon-intensive future has many key components. We need wind farms, solar panels, hydropower stations and other sources to generate renewable energy. But we also need a greener infrastructure to ship electricity to customers.
- U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) recognizes potential of GE’s g3 insulating and switching gas as an alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) to help significantly cut global greenhouse gas emissions
- GE’s g3 gas technology will help U.S. utilities achieve President Biden’s goal of net zero economy-wide emissions by 2050
- The development of GE’s g3 245 kV circuit-breaker will play a crucial role in reducing dependence of SF6 technology on the U.S.
