- New GE Digital customer to utilize Advanced
Energy Management System (AEMS) to support Lean and Sustainability
initiatives

reliable transmission microgrid network operation and maximize
renewable energy with full generation control
- Solution delivers operational performance,
minimizes risk, increases flexibility
GE Digital today announced that Petroleum Development Oman
(PDO), the leading exploration and oil & gas production company
in the Sultanate of Oman, has purchased Advanced Energy Management
System (AEMS). The GE Digital software is designed to enable PDO to
plan, control, and optimize renewable power generation to help keep
its oil production plants operating reliably and efficiently.
PDO delivers the majority of the country of Oman's crude oil
production and natural gas supply. The company runs its own
electric network – a microgrid – to serve their business. A
microgrid is a local controllable grid which can run autonomously
from the main grid. By using a microgrid, PDO can be more
resilient, potentially lower costs, and run more efficiently.
Conversely, when connected to Oman’s main grid, PDO can supply
power back to the country.
PDO strives to operate in an environmentally responsible and
sustainable fashion. To be a more sustainable business, PDO has
launched a Lean program to streamline operations, cut waste,
eradicate inefficiency, and avoid duplication of activities.
“Our goal is to meet our electricity needs and support a stable
grid. To do that, we needed an effective system management that
allows us to be proactive,” said Zahir Al-Busaidi Infrastructure
Power Systems Department Manager for Petroleum Development Oman.
“The addition of GE Digital’s software will support the efficient
management of our microgrid to keep our business operating and
assist in the preparation for challenges and opportunities with
renewables in the future.”
GE Digital’s AEMS is designed to integrate with electric utility
functions, such as plant and field management, asset and
maintenance management, IT internal services, security services,
substation automation systems, HVDC line control, power plant
control systems, and other EMS interchanges. GE Digital’s AEMS is
natively integrated to our Renewables & DER Orchestration
solution and Wide Area Management System (WAMS) software which are
expected to become essential solutions for PDO as they progress in
their renewable journey.
“The global economic landscape will change rapidly in the next
10 years and it is critical to incorporate renewable energy sources
into all grids,” said Jim Walsh, General Manager of GE Digital’s
Grid Software business. “Industrial companies like Petroleum
Development Oman are utilizing contemporary digital tools to
deliver a reliable, more sustainable microgrid to support their
core operations.”
