Packaged Substation for TM-2500 Application

The power generation environment is evolving rapidly due to electricity demand in emerging markets, regulatory reform, unpredictable global
weather patterns, political unrest, and the grid impact of renewable and distributed power. This creates a need for Electrical Balance of Plant
(EBoP) systems in the Distributed Power segment.

GE's Packaged Substation is a turnkey switchyard solution for 145kV class, 2-TM2500+ power delivery applications. Traditional substations
incorporate custom design-and-build high voltage (HV) switchyard and medium voltage (MV)/low voltage (LV) auxiliary systems. GE's
packaged EBoP substations are pre-engineered, pre-packaged and pre-tested to provide full HV, MV, and LV functionality in modular ISO®
standard shipping containers. This unique approach helps customers to:

Accelerate Revenue Simplify Logistics

Time to Commercial Operations (COD) reduced, accelerating
revenue up to $1.2MM
Pre-engineered design drives shorter equipment lead times
Installation and commissioning reduced to 3-4 weeks
Lower Cost and Risk
Pre-fabricated construction reduces site installation cost
up to 50%
Factory pre-FAT and pre-SAT reduce quantity and risk of on-site
testing Substation and eBOP substantially de-risked within overall
project plan
ISO containers simplify shipping logistics and reduce permitting
Modular design supports flexible site arrangement
Site prep is minimized and system can be moved from site to site
Require Less Skilled Labor
Plug-and-play installation and standard cables/connectors
eliminate point-to-point field wiring
Skilled labor requirements reduced for installation and
commissioning

Major components include:

Generator Step Up Transformers (GSU) Protection and Control System
Current and Voltage Transformers Networking Connectivity
Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) Cabling Systems
IEC 61850 Compliant Process Bus Network High Voltage Monitoring and Diagnostics (M&D)
Disconnect Switches Human Machine Interface (HMI)
HV Surge Arresters, Insulators
