GE Vernova contributes to Denmark’s electrical grid decarbonization with its SF₆-free technology Read more about GE Vernova contributes to Denmark’s electrical grid decarbonization with its SF₆-free technology Cerius, a Danish utility and distribution system operator (DSO), this week inaugurated the first substation installed in Denmark. g3 is GE Vernova’s Electrification’ environmentally-friendly alternative to SF6. SF6 is an efficient and well-managed insulating and switching gas for high-voltage equipment. It has been used by the electrical industry for the past 50 years. However, it is also a very potent greenhouse gas: It contributes 23,500 times more emissions than CO2 and can remain for up to 3,200 years in the atmosphere.

Thought Art one High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is a hot topic right now as we look for the most efficient ways to deliver enough decarbonized energy to meet the world’s fast-growing electrification needs. Yet HVDC is only part of the story. Medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) is the next chapter.Two things are driving this urgent interest in MVDC: the growth in distributed energy resources and the need to integrate them into the grid, and the high electricity demands needed to power heavy industry, transportation, and data centers.HVDC is the most efficient way to transfer bulk energy over long distances from the point of generation to the grid. Photovoltaics, which transform the sun’s rays into usable energy, also deliver direct current. Yet once these two energy sources reach the grid, they are transformed to less efficient alternating current (AC).For industries that use large amounts of electricity avoiding the energy leakage associated with AC can amount to millions of dollars a year. While it’s more efficient to use DC, a direct HVDC connection delivers too much voltage. MVDC can bridge the gap by either stepping down HVDC for industrial use or stepping up AC wind power to DC so it can travel long distances.MVDC is a breakthrough technology that is designed to enable these industries to make the most out of every electron. It will also help us to truly harness the power of solar energy, our most abundant and reliable renewable energy source, and wind power, which is a growing contributor to the energy mix. MVDC, by regulating voltage, has significant potential to power data centers, green hydrogen* gigaplants, and other electricity-intensive industries such as steel, metals and petrochemicals. It could transform transportation by electrifying rail grids and powering ship power distribution and propulsion. Our customers may realize savings by achieving greater energy efficiency and by eliminating costs for the equipment needed to switch between DC and AC.
