Smallworld Geo Network Management

Overview

Not just another GIS 

GE Vernova’s GNM solutions are purpose-built to help utilities and telecoms manage their physical asset network model information, both geospatially and schematically. GNM users gain a complete and accurate network representation that can inform other geo-based solutions, plus a suite of tools for planning new infrastructure, scenario analysis, field work, and more. Generic GIS solutions stop at basic mapping. GNM goes above and beyond.

A backbone for grid orchestration 

GE Vernova’s GNM solution is configured to unleash the full power of grid orchestration. Readily interoperable with GE Vernova’s other grid software solutions, it provides the as-built, geo-connected network model and relevant asset data that fuels key use cases like disruption planning and response, simulations, vegetation management, DER optimization, and more. 

Explore the benefits of Smallworld GNM

Reduced Costs

Lower operational costs by streamlining design, data capture workflows, and get an accurate digital representation of the entire network to bring down the cost of end-to-end asset management. 

Better Planning

Decrease planning time with accurate and complete documentation of the asset network.

Increased Accuracy

GNM offers enhanced network asset analysis and data accuracy by utilizing automated fault location, and isolation and restoration mechanisms to increase the reliability of network analysis.

Seamless Scalability

Start small and expand over time, or roll out at scale. GNM scales with any size operation, with the flexibility to adapt to changing needs over time.

Easier Field Collaboration

No more backlogs or handoffs delaying model updates. With GNM’s Network Update application, teams can update the network model in real time, while out in the field.

Integration Capabilities

GNM provides geospatial data for various grid software solutions. Key use cases include FLISR, simulations, planning, and more.

According to Gartner®, "Utilities are moving away from viewing GIS as a static system of record — essentially, passive digital maps — to using GIS to manage dynamic network models."
