How AI is reviving legacy power generation technologies.

AI is influencing the energy sector in unexpected ways. While renewables made up 85% of new US capacity additions in Q2 2025, the growing demand from AI data centers is driving renewed interest in natural gas projects.

Balancing the grid isn’t just about technology, it’s about enabling the energy of change. As renewables grow on the grid, fluctuations in supply from wind and solar variability increase the risks of power disruptions. That’s where synchronous condensing comes in: it contributes to system inertia, keeping the grid stable as renewable generation and demand of electricity fluctuate. GE Vernova’s aeroderivative gas turbines, like the LM2500XPRESS, LM6000, and TM2500, have the synchronous condensing capabilities to: • Stabilize the grid → respond rapidly (5-min start) to frequency changes and voltage dips, while controlling reactive power for voltage regulation • Enable renewables → switch between condensing and generation modes to balance intermittent supply • Right-sized solutions → aeroderivatives are compact, flexible, and modular to bring energy wherever it’s needed • Future-ready → with hydrogen innovations, they align with tomorrow’s low-carbon grid Check out how GE Vernova is helping firm the grid and power the energy transition in local communities: https://vernova.is/4opYR3t

As hybrid renewable facilities grow in complexity, REPC_D offers key advantages over REPC_B: -Supports distributed control across solar, BESS, and other assets -Enables flexible control modes and dynamic switching logic -Accurately models device-level behavior and response delays -Reflects vendor-specific implementations for better validation -Improves simulation fidelity in both RMS and EMT studies -Aligns with PRC-028/029 compliance and MOD-033 accuracy requirements REPC_D brings the scalability and realism needed for today’s grid-connected hybrid plants.

🔌 From Standalone to Synergistic: BESS Integration in Hybrid Systems The shift from standalone BESS to fully integrated hybrid systems is no longer optional—it’s strategic. The latest technical framework outlines how Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can be coupled with renewable generation (PV, Wind, Biomass, WtE) to ensure grid compliance and operational flexibility. 💡 Key takeaways from the Annex: • Standalone BESS is no longer permitted—hybridization is the new baseline. • Integration must occur on the DC side to enable both grid-parallel and off-grid operation. • No ATS is needed when BESS and renewables are DC-coupled—simplifying design and reducing cost. • For continuous grid-parallel operation with switching, ATS remains essential. • Hybrid systems can support island mode for privileged loads, enhancing resilience. This isn’t just compliance—it’s an opportunity to future-proof energy infrastructure with smarter, more adaptive architectures. #HybridSystems #BESS #EnergyStorage #Renewables #GridIntegration #WHT #EnergyTransition #SmartInfrastructure #DCcoupling #EnergyResilience ⚡🔋🌍
