The center, which brings new jobs to the region, will develop technology for hybrid electric vehicles, naval platforms and newly designed aircraft, which have greater electricity needs.  The end goal is to develop systems that will deliver electric power efficiently and robustly for GE Aviation\u2019s military and commercial customers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cElectrification  in transportation is a growth area,\u201d said Vic Bonneau, president of Electric  Power for GE Aviation Systems.  \u201cThe  center will yield system-level benefits so that our customers can more rapidly  gain from this trend in energy management, climate control, radars and sensors,  silicon carbide based power conversion and electric actuation, to name a few.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><GEREPORTS_WEBONLY IMAGE=\"http:\/\/files.gereports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/ohio-rd-center.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"BCvideo\">\n<div id=\"BCvideo3\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gereports.com\/its-electric-ge-announces-rd-center-in-ohio\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/files.gereports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/ohio-rd-center.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/GEREPORTS_WEBONLY><\/p>\n<p>The center was  made possible by a $7.6 million grant from the <a title=\"http:\/\/thirdfrontier.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/thirdfrontier.com\/\">Ohio Third  Frontier Commission<\/a>.

These modeling capabilities will eventually be applied to complex electrical systems like smart utility grids and the next generation of commercial transport aircraft. <\/p>\n<p>The center\u2019s  location will be announced later this year with a planned opening in 2012.  Employees  at the center will join 2,800 researchers and employees at GE\u2019s four global  research facilities.
