The Future of Electricity Is
DIGITAL
Digital is disrupting and transforming the electricity industry, challenging old models and creating
unprecedented opportunities. Over the next decade, there will be ~$1.3 trillion of value to be
captured in this transformation. With software and data analytics, combined with advanced
hardware, new digitally-enhanced power generation will deliver greater reliability, affordability
and sustainability, helping lower costs, improve efficiencies, create growth opportunities and
lower carbon output.
As part of GE, GE Power Digital Solutions is the largest contributor of GEs $5 billion digital
portfolio. Launched in 2015, we are building on our 130-year-old foundation with new
investments, new technology and new teams to help lead this transformation in the energy
space as the digital industrial leader.
At GE, CEO Jeff Immelt is leading our own digital-industrial journey, from the way we work, to our
products and solutions, to how we engage with customers. Now, with the addition of the Alstom
software portfolio and new GE businesses, we are bringing new digital solutions that span the
entire electricity value chain.
Our customers recognize the momentous change taking place in the industry and are seeking
solutions and partners in the new age of digital. There are new and old competitors leveraging
digital technologies, new policies creating new requirements and new business models that are
challenging traditional revenue sources and creating new growth opportunities.
We invite you to explore our comprehensive portfolio of purpose-built digital solutions for our
industry that span from Controls to Cloud. The portfolio includes a suite of software applications
our cloud-based Industrial Internet platform Predix, Advanced Controls & Edge Computing and
Cyber Security solutions.

Our future realizes the goal of ubiquitous access to clean, reliable, sustainable and secure electricity, while fostering
economic growth through the creation of a new energy ecosystem. The convergence of the digital and physical
brings this within reach, and GE is your partner for this transformation:
Edison would not recognize our world today. GE has been innovating across power generation, transmission
and distribution for 100+ years. Today GE is still building solutions aligned to market dynamics intermittent
renewables, the need to improve sustainability and resiliency, consumers becoming producers (prosumers).
The energy industry has one of the largest opportunities for digitization. GE equipment powers 25% percent of
the world. Utilities with these assets are forecast to spend $90B on Industrial Internet by 2020.
Data & analytics enable transformation. With more than 13,000 power engineers and data scientists, GE
Power has more than 5,000 patents, and offers digital solutions built with deep domain expertise. GE monitors
50 million data points and 10 million sensors, delivering $1 trillion in value to the industry.
At the end of 2015, validated by market momentum, we took a step forward in supporting the entire electricity
value chain. We formalized the GE Power Digital Solutions business in conjunction with GE Digital, a strategic
move to unify all current software and analytical capabilities.
Our mission is to be the strategic partner of choice for our customers to derive new value, new insights, new
revenue and business models from digital assets. A digital company cant do this. An industrial company cant
do this. Only a digital industrial company can do this.

Software Suite of
Defined Machines Predix Digital Twin Applications
To address these issues and to enable power leaders the opportunity to increase profitability from machine
data and analytics, GE developed the DPP, delivering capabilities in the following areas:
Software Defined Machines: Unlike traditional operations machines, where applications for that equipment
were built into firmware and notoriously difficult to connect to the Industrial Internet, new breeds of assets
autonomously connect to the Industrial Internet, execute native or cloud-based machine applications, analyze
collected data and respond to changes in that data.
End-to-End Security
Predix, the Cloud Platform for the Industrial Internet: GEs platform for the Industrial Internet, combines
best of breed technologies for massive data ingestion, analytic modeling and execution, asset libraries and a
sophisticated User Interface (UI). Predix machine is an on-site gateway for data cleansing and communications
and for executing analytics at the edge, required for near real-time response. This environment was industrial
built to manage the data and analytics required for power companies to gain operational benefits and action-
based recommendations.
Digital Twin: An organized collection of physics-based methods and advanced analytics used to model the
present state of every asset in a Digital Power Plant. GE applications use the Digital Twin to model solutions,
execute what if scenarios and to drive outcomes based on analytic models that mirror and predict the
functions of the physical assets.
Suite of Applications: Leveraging data from software defined machines and the GE Digital Twin, a complete set
of applications designed to improve asset performance and reliability, to increase operation efficiency and to
give power business leaders insights that allow them to make more profitable decisions.
