Powering Forward At Malaysia’s Manjung 4 Power Plant

August 09, 2018
"Independent power producer TNB Janamanjung is leading the way as the operator of Southeast Asia's first ultra-supercritical (USC) coal-fired power plant - generating 1000 megawatts (MW) – to produce enough electricity to power nearly two million households in Malaysia.
Operational since early 2015, the Manjung 4 plant is playing its part in meeting demand for energy throughout Malaysia that is tipped in the World Energy Markets Observatory (WEMO) 2017 report, to increase by 4.8% per annum right up to 2030.

Surf’s Up – How Ocean Waves, Tides, And Temps Can Help Power The World

July 31, 2018
Strong ocean swells, and waves that crash to shore can now be transformed, and used to produce clean, sustainable energy. But while the ocean-generated power opportunity is immense, it’s under-developed today.
In the-near-future however, wave power, or marine energy, could become a new source of renewable power for nations connected to the world’s deepest, largest oceans, including many in Asia Pacific (APAC).

July 13, 2018

Buried 1,000 feet below the parched Thar Desert in Pakistan lies more fuel energy than all the known oil in Iran and Saudi Arabia combined. Just a small fraction of this 175-billion-ton lignite coal reserve is plentiful enough to supply one-fifth of Pakistan’s current energy levels for 50 years.

STEM in Laos - Women Eye Welding and Engineering Jobs in the Hydropower Sector

April 03, 2018
“When I was at school thinking about jobs, I never thought about welding, or engineering, or the power industry. I thought these jobs were for men only, but after attending the welding course I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it – it’s given me a lot of confidence and I will consider engineering jobs in the future,” Lattana, welding student.

When GE Global Research Center engineer Jayesh Barve arrived in Behlolpur, India, in February, he found children and adults from this remote village learning to read and write with the help of a new computer. The sight overwhelmed him. As recently as last fall, Behlolpur, located in Bihar province, had no electricity — much less computers. Villagers rose with the sun and lit candles or oil lamps at night, just like their ancestors centuries ago.

Indonesia: Islands of Fast Power

October 20, 2017
The blades from Cameri are already working inside the first GE9X engines, which GE started testing last year. These and other new materials and technologies will help make the engine 10 percent more fuel-efficient than its predecessor, the GE90. That’s a big deal given that fuel accounts for about 19 percent of an airline’s operating costs.

October 04, 2017
There are places in the world that make us feel small and force us to marvel at the skills and ambitions of their architects and engineers. They include cathedrals in Europe, NASA's Cape Canaveral rocket launch pad or the Panama Canal. GE’s gas turbine plant in Greenville, South Carolina, may not be on everyone’s list. But it comes close.

Why Low-Energy Solutions Are Needed To Power The IoT Revolution

October 02, 2017
How prepared are we for the next anticipated computing transformation - the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution?
The evolution of computing technology has long been predicated by ‘Moore’s Law’, a much-quoted observation made by Intel founder, Gordon Moore in 1965. He predicted that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit, would double every two years, to drive exponential growth.
