Increase and optimize electrical power generation

As electricity becomes the central resource in the global journey to a low-carbon future, energy sources must shift. We’re reimagining the possibilities of power systems to meet the growing demand for sustainable, reliable power. 

Generate an affordable, reliable and sustainable electricity supply

The transition to far more sustainable energy systems requires a massive transformation of electricity. Today, as policymakers target net-zero emissions, energy producers must transform the energy mix to favor renewable energy sources. At the same time, energy producers must generate far more electrical power to meet increasing demand.

Through our Everything as a Grid approach to the energy transition we’re increasing and optimizing the energy the world relies on. We're creating new possibilities to generate low-carbon energy by supporting a two-way grid. And we’re accelerating plant upgrades and updates, reconfiguring electrical infrastructure and helping customers plan for new capacity additions with clarity. 

 

Accelerate the decarbonization of generation

With natural gas becoming the bridge fuel of choice and 80% new generation plans renewable, the energy transition is well underway. Conventional coal-fired and nuclear power plants are being decommissioned at a record pace, so the centralized electricity generation reality is increasingly being replaced with far more renewable energy resources. This shift creates an urgent and immediate need for expert help in transforming existing natural gas generation to more decentralized renewable energy supply.

With one of the largest expert service teams in the industry, we can help you transform your energy infrastructure. Our expansive utility industry solutions and deep expertise can streamline the renewable interconnection process and support grid stability with variable energy sources while fast-tracking plant construction, upgrades and decommissioning. 

Navigate and meet changing regulations

Energy requirements and regulations are constantly shifting as policymakers step up decarbonization goals, while working to minimize consumer electricity costs. Further, regional and international electrical standards are changing to manage bi-directional current flow on the grid and support grid interconnection of distributed energy resources.

When the only constant is change, how can you comply with and adapt to regulatory requirements? Get the expertise on where regulations are going and what’s required to stay current. Our Brightlayer Utilities suite and power generation services can help you implement a systematic approach to addressing regulatory requirements, bridge knowledge gaps, build infrastructure to withstand extreme conditions, and meet the energy needs of today and tomorrow with resilient power. 

Manage the massive shifts to the power landscape

With the energy transition, sources of power become more renewable and the uses of power become more electric. Electricity is becoming the central power source. And this new reality is vastly different than today’s power supply. So, how do you plan for generation sources and manage capacity when renewable energy sources are variable by nature? 

Highly accurate predictive diagnostics and network modeling are critical enablers. Our advanced power engineering and analysis tools can help you plan for capacity additions, forecast production, optimize energy storage, support reliable operations and manage energy assets to support resilient power - no matter what. 

Protect people, property, process and planet 

With far more distributed energy resources (DERs), both physical and cybersecurity become more complicated with more resources to secure. In addition, with many aging power plants generating more than 90 gigawatts of power around the world and operating more than 60% of their planned expectancy, enhancing safety by reducing the risk of arc flash events is a must. 
 
Build a culture of safety by design through industry training and innovations that help reduce risk. Count on our expertise, education programs and innovations in arc science to advance electrical safety across power generation applications. Our approach includes leadership in cybersecurity through a secure-by-design approach that has yielded many industry firsts. We're passionate about every aspect of safety -- helping you protect people, property, processes and the environment.
