GE Vernova Operations LLC received a $2.83 million Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) under CFDA 81.135, with an award date of July 17, 2026, and completion date of July 16, 2028. The project, titled "Dynamic Grid Foundation Model-Based Rapid Decision Support for Fully Dynamic Grid," develops a groundbreaking foundational machine learning model for grid operations that captures temporal dependencies, grid topology information, and physical laws to address multiple grid operation tasks. The model will rapidly predict operational consequences and proactively identify control setpoints to alleviate current and anticipated grid violations, delivering an estimated 100-fold acceleration for intelligent energy distribution across transmission grid infrastructure. To ensure reliable grid orchestration and build operator trust, the research integrates the foundational model with hardware-accelerated grid optimizers that rapidly verify and refine recommended setpoints before human approval for hardware implementation. Additionally, a large language model component will enable intuitive operator interaction with the system to trigger desired analyses and provide actionable decision support. The work is performed at GE Vernova's Advanced Research Center facility in Niskayuna, New York, positioning the technology to modernize grid resilience and operational efficiency for existing and new transmission infrastructure.Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary
