GE Vernova announced the launch of GridBeats™ APS, a software-defined automation and protection system to simplify substation operations and reduce hardware footprint.

• Main announcement: GE Vernova launched GridBeats™ APS to modernize substations by supporting all protection and control applications on a single platform, using patented hardware abstraction to reduce required hardware and spares (can consolidate hundreds of individual packages into as few as ten). The product is being showcased at DTECH 2026 (February 3–5, San Diego, CA) and will be unveiled via a LinkedIn Live event; GE Vernova is exhibiting at booth #3112.
• Background and product details: GridBeats™ APS enables operators to update cybersecurity and communications software without revalidating protection functions, run multiple protection/control applications on one device, perform remote application updates without taking devices offline, and addresses aging infrastructure, capacity expansion, operational complexity, and cybersecurity. The release is a product launch/announcement (press release) rather than a reporting on a prior deal.
