Paul Backscheider is GE Digital Grid VP for Product Management.
GE Vernova has become the go-to thought leader with technical expertise on the topic of grid orchestration, as the integration of renewable energy sources into the electrical grid presents unique challenges and opportunities for utilities worldwide.

Building on the foundations set in prior conversations with GE Vernova General Manager of Grid Software Mahesh Sudhakaran on grid orchestration concepts, GE Vernova GridOS Chief Innovation Officer Thorsten Heller on data fabric, and GE Vernova CTO for Applied Grid Innovation Avnaesh Jayantilal on AI integration, the strategic vision and technological advancements that help grid operators achieve their objectives are laid out with this examination of grid integration of renewables.
In this conversation, Paul Backscheider, GE Vernova’s Grid Software VP, Product Management, discusses his responsibility for the Operate Segment, which are the real-time systems that control the grid, including energy management, distribution management, and distributed energy resources. It is a lot to take in and there is much to learn on the journey that is grid orchestration.
