GE Vernova
Mahesh Sudhakaran is General Manager at GE Digital.
The mission at GE Vernova is to electrify the world while simultaneously working to help decarbonize it. Greenbird Integration Technology AS is an international solution and technology company with roots in Norway, and its flagship innovation, Utilihive, is used by more than two hundred utilities across Europe, the Middle East, and U.S.
GE Vernova in February launched GridOS the world's first grid orchestration software, and recently acquired Greenbird, which specializes in data platforms for utilities. That will allow GE Vernova to aggregate information from multiple systems, allowing grid operators to use GridOS to assemble a real-time snapshot of grid conditions.
The acquisition brings a lot together, so Public Utilities Fortnightly went to an expert to explain how it happened and what it means. Listen in as GE Digital General Manager Mahesh Sudhakaran discusses positive implications for tomorrow's power grid.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: Mahesh, talk about GE Vernova's recent acquisition of Greenbird Integration Technology AS.
Mahesh Sudhakaran: Today, you can't have a conversation with an electric utility that doesn't involve data. But data is something that's highly misunderstood.
