GE Vernova’s Digital business announced it has acquired Greenbird Integration Technology AS, a data integration platform company focused on utilities. This acquisition highlights GE Vernova’s focus on investing in technologies that focus on the sustainable energy grid. The platform will help to enhance GridOS, a software portfolio designed specifically 
for grid orchestration, adding new capabilities for connecting systems and integrating data across the grid more easily and at scale. The financial terms of the acquisition are not being disclosed.
The GridOS orchestration software platform and application suite help to enable more secure and reliable grid operations while delivering additional resiliency and flexibility that is needed by utilities globally. The software portfolio uses a federated data fabric to pull together energy data, network modeling, and AI-driven analytics from across the grid. The Greenbird acquisition will help to expand the capabilities of the data fabric, which can help to eliminate data silos and make it faster and easier to connect and aggregate energy data while reducing the time and expense of data integration projects. This also helps to better connect modern software, such as Advanced Energy Management System (AEMS), Advanced Distribution Management Solutions (ADMS), and Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS), which can create new opportunities for grid automation.
Data integration is also important to help solve renewables connection challenges. Approximately 1,350 gigawatts of additional, mostly sustainable power capacity are waiting to be constructed and connected to the grid. This large-scale interconnection backlog can result in wasted capacity and unutilized investment. Scenario planning and grid simulations can provide an opportunity to increase line capacity and drive deeper visibility into the impact of such assets on the grid, allowing capacity to be connected faster and helping to reduce the significan number and costs of traditional back-up generators. Such use cases require the integration of forecasting, simulation, historical grid OT, sensor, line, and inertia data.
The Greenbird integration platform is delivered as a service (iPaaS) and is built with containerization and a suite of cloud services, which will help to accelerate the availability of key GridOS components. In addition, GE Vernova will incorporate Greenbird’s team to the Grid Software group, including data specialists experienced in developing and deploying distributed data processes at scale for utilities. The acquisition will help to advance the AI- and data-driven vision for GridOS that GE Vernova’s Digital business believes will help to solve grid orchestration challenges while helping to cultivate an energy data ecosystem that can further advance decarbonization and electrification at scale.
