The EX2100e Digital Front-End (DFE) is a controls-only retrofit that enables customers with older excitation systems to upgrade to GE’s fully digital EX2100e platform at a fraction of the time and cost of a traditional excitation. Retaining existing power conversion bridges makes this a quick and cost-effective option for those looking to increase reliability and get more return on their operations.
