GE+Digital today announced that long-time customer National+Grid+Electricity+System+Operator+%28ESO%29 has deployed the software company’s ground-breaking Effective Inertia Metering & Forecasting® solution in production across Great Britain’s electricity network. Inertia is a critical factor as it keeps a grid running when a generator suddenly disconnects, buying time for other generators to ramp-up. The GE Digital solution is designed to deliver valuable capabilities to inform National Grid ESO’s management and engineers of grid inertia day-to-day to help ensure the system can handle a worst-case generator loss.
