Bango gets big bang for buck from Cypress wind-turbine tech

Natalie Filatoff
July 19, 2020

There’s been more than a little jubilation in the offices of clean-energy developer CWP Renewables, as the arrival in Newcastle of the first of 46 ultra large GE Cypress turbines — each of which can generate 5.3 - 5.5 megawatts (MW) — coincided with the achievement of a successful grid-connection agreement for the company’s Bango Wind Farm near Yass in New South Wales.

Ships Ahoy: GE’s New Smart Vessel Is Transforming Offshore Wind Farm Maintenance 

July 09, 2020

“So we rowed through the narrow strait in tears,

On one side Scylla, on the other, shining

Charybdis with a dreadful gurgling noise

sucked down the water.”*

 

If you enjoy tales from the deep, you will know all about Ulysses, the hero of Homer’s epic poem, “The Odyssey.” The many ordeals he and his crew endured on their peripatetic journey home from Troy included sailing their ship past beguiling sirens and then charting a path between two terrible sea monsters: Scylla and Charybdis.

Titans Of Industry: These Technologies Stand Head And Shoulders Above The Rest

Samantha Shaddock
August 12, 2019
It’s an ever-shrinking world. Thanks to mobile technology, entire libraries’ worth of information fits snugly in our hands. We can shop, bank and work an eight-hour shift without leaving our homes. We attend lectures and hold meetings remotely, and visit with loved ones in distant countries. Never has life for much of the population been more convenient, or more physically confined.

Catching A Second Wind: Supercomputers Are Helping Wind Farms Squeeze More Energy Out Of Their Turbines

Scott Woolley
January 23, 2019

Stroll behind a spinning wind turbine on a blustery day and the breeze washing over you slows noticeably as the turbine blades pull energy from the moving air. While that’s no surprise, the full extent of a modern turbine’s wind-dampening wake is little short of mind-boggling. According to a new paper in the journal Nature Energy, today’s giant turbines can cause detectable decreases in wind speeds up to 30 miles away, siphoning energy and revenue from neighboring wind farms.

Power Outlook: Natural Gas Key To Future Power Grid

Brendan Coffey
December 06, 2018
Installed capacity of gas-fired power plants will climb in the next two decades as the structure of the power industry continues to shift from one based primarily on central generation resources to a hybrid system comprising both centralized and distributed resources, according to a new analysis by GE Power. The company released the report — which incorporates the latest New Policies Scenario from the International Energy Agency’s recent World Energy Outlook — at Power-Gen International, an annual summit of energy-industry professionals held this week in Orlando, Florida.

All That Jazz: GE Opens Wind Turbine Blade Test Center At NASA Rocket Factory In New Orleans

Tomas Kellner
November 14, 2018
There are few places in the world like NASA’s rocket factory in New Orleans, where the U.S. space agency and its contractors are building the Space Launch System. It’s the most powerful rocket ever designed — and may one day take astronauts as far as Mars. Known as the Michoud Assembly Facility, the plant covers an area equal to 31 American football fields, including several soaring high-bay areas where workers stack silver and orange rocket segments like Jenga blocks.

Trading Neighbors: A New Study Will Look At Blockchain’s Potential To Power Local Energy Markets

P D Olson

Imagine: On a hot, sunny day, a popular neighborhood coffee shop is teeming with people, its air conditioner blasting to keep up. Just next door, an empty home with solar panels on the roof is drawing power from the sun without using it, as the owners have decamped on a two-week beach vacation.
Today’s energy infrastructure isolates the buildings from each other. But in the future, they could be doing business automatically, minute-by-minute, thanks to a technology called blockchain.
