Job Summary The energy transition drives unprecedented growth in demand for and generation of electricity.
To accommodate this growth, the capacity of the transmission system is projected to grow three‑fold.
High‑voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems will play a key role in connecting remote and offshore renewables, interconnecting energy markets and reinforcing AC grids.
Converter stations convert AC to DC and vice versa; the brain of these stations is the control and protection system, ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable operation of power electronic valves and peripheral equipment.
GE Vernova’s Grid Systems Integration business line offers control and protection solutions for both voltage‑sourced converter (VSC) and line‑commutated converter (LCC) HVDC valve technologies, enabling advanced transmission planning for utilities, system operators, developers, and industrial clients worldwide.
