          "In tandem with the venture, GE Vernova announced its commercial next-generation ±525 kV VSC converter valve capable of continuous transmission ratings up to 3 GW per bipolar scheme. The valve incorporates modular multilevel topology with fast bypass capabilities and enhanced fault ride-through performance.",
          "Additionally, GE Vernova rolled out its medium-voltage uninterruptible power supply (MV-UPS) architecture designed to decouple high-load AI data center step-changes from the bulk transmission grid, preserving power quality and preventing harmonic distortion."
