Engineering Happiness: How GE Employee Harjit Birdi Is Helping Guide The Transition To Renewable Energy

J. B. Kolman
March 29, 2022

Harjit Birdi has been captivated by energy systems since he was a child in India. His father was an official at the State Electricity Board. When the power went down, his dad’s job was to race through town with a crew to find the source of the fault. Despite his mother’s worries, Birdi demanded that his father take him along on his emergency expeditions. A few years later, when it was time to choose his college major, the choice was obvious. “Electrical engineering fascinated me, because energy is something you can’t see,” he says. “You can’t see those electrons.

GE dévoile le 1er disjoncteur g3 420 kV sans SF6 pour postes isolés au gaz

March 29, 2022
  • Le prototype de disjoncteur g3 420 kV pour postes isolés au gaz de GE prouve que la technologie g3 peut être appliquée au plus haut niveau de tension utilisé en Europe, et répliquée sur les autres niveaux de tension utilisés dans le monde.
  • Le recours au gaz d’isolation des appareillages de coupure g3 pour remplacer le SF6, qui est un gaz à effet de serre puissant, permet de réduire le potentiel de réchauffement global (PRG) de plus de 99 %.

A Powerful Connection: GE Tech To Bring Electricity To 500,000 New Yorkers From A Giant Offshore Wind Farm

Tomas Kellner
March 24, 2022

There’s just one offshore wind farm generating electricity in the United States, but things are quickly changing. Several huge wind projects along America’s Eastern Seaboard are already in various stages of development, and the industry is also set to get a multi-billion-dollar boost from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed last year.

But placing wind turbines far off the coast is just one part of the engineering problem. Operators also need an efficient way to bring the electricity they generate to consumers on land.
