Proving Ground: This U.K. Facility Is Preparing To Put The World’s Largest Wind Turbine To Test

Marc Sala has a huge challenge on his hands. The giant turbine he’s helping bring to market, the Haliade-X, will stand 260 meters tall, about the same height as New York’s iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza skyscraper. With blades that are longer than a football field, the turbine will have a generator capable of producing 12 megawatts — 2.5 MW more than current turbines and enough to supply the equivalent energy needed to supply 16,000 homes.

The French Connection: Digital Twins From Paris Will Protect Wind Turbines Against Battering North Atlantic Gales

In the heart of Paris, a short walk from the city’s storied opera, GE engineers are busy coding software that will allow them to create “digital twins” of machines. These virtual representations of the real machines live in the cloud and use as their lifeblood data captured from their parts. The engineers are partnering with Ansys, a leader in engineering simulation software, to digitally play out different scenarios, such as running an aircraft engine longer and in a hotter or wetter environment.

Financing a flourishing clean-energy industry

July 28, 2016
Power purchase agreements for renewable energy may be blowing in the wind, but Jason Willoughby, managing director of GE Energy Financial Services in Australia and New Zealand, proposes a fresh approach to getting wind-farm projects up and running, and acing Australia’s Renewable Energy Target.
Australia’s Renewable Energy Target, set in June last year, is a huge opportunity to deliver almost a quarter of our power needs, or 33,000 GWh, of renewable energy by 2020 in the lowest-cost, most reliable way.
