What is a GE rotating stabilizer?

GE’s Rotating Stabilisers are high-inertia rotating machines that can support the grid network in delivering efficient and reliable synchronous inertia and can help stabilise frequency deviations by generating and absorbing reactive power.

What is rotating grid stabilizer (RGS)?

With our Rotating Grid Stabilizer (RGS) solutions, plant operators can repurpose existing generators and expand revenue streams by providing grid services. By enhancing grid resilience and enabling the integration of renewable energy, we support the energy transition and ensure a sustainable power future.

How can rotating stabilizers help reduce emissions and maintain grid performance?

Rotating Stabilisers can help reduce emissions and maintain grid performance by providing the same synchronous inertia as coal or gas power plants without the associated CO2 emissions and high running costs. This flexible technology can be deployed as/when required by the system operator. The above table shows some typical example ratings.

What services does the rotating stabilizer provide?

The Rotating Stabiliser can provide several services including Synchronous Inertia Response (SIR), Steady/Dynamic Reactive Power, (SSRP/DRP) and an option for Fast Frequency Response (FFR) with larger converters. • Our focus on service keeps us actively engaged, both when things are going right, and when they are going wrong.

Why do power plants need RGS conversions?

By utilizing power plants that may otherwise become stranded assets, RGS conversions provide necessary system inertia, short circuit power and reactive power to the grid for that balance.

How can new technologies and applications improve grid stability?

Evaluation of new technologies and applications can ensure both flexibility and grid stability. instability could lead to grid operators constraining renewable generation to ensure grid stability or having to run costly coal or gas power plants in reserve.
