The Startup Power Plant: These Engineers Are Building Turbines The Silicon Valley Way

Bruce Watson
May 03, 2017
Many management experts are obsessed with "startup culture," the particular mix of vision, energy and nimbleness that allows companies to take an idea, rapidly prototype it and get it to market in short order. But could the same spirit live inside a large industrial company? GE thinks so, with the help of FastWorks, its speedy product-development initiative. In fact, engineers at GE Power just used it to improve a popular gas turbine.

Earlier this year, thousands of residents in the Porter Ranch neighborhood of Los Angeles had to evacuate their homes and schools after a natural gas leak — the worst on record in the United States. For over 10 weeks, a damaged well in Aliso Canyon oozed methane and ethane, leaving residents with nosebleeds, nausea and headaches.

Intel is one of the world’s biggest technology companies, with semiconductor manufacturing facilities all over the globe. Those plants have to maintain rigorously controlled environments where every surface must be clean, every process must be perfect and even the smallest improvements can make a large impact.

Intel works hard to ensure that these facilities are constantly pushing the technological edge.

The project was so secret that team members had to pick up jackhammers, knock down walls and modify the workshop by themselves. Problems quickly popped up after they unpacked the engine from its box. “We didn’t have the right tools,” Sorota said. “Our wrenches didn’t fit the nuts and bolts because they were on the metric system. We had to grind them open a little more to get inside.”

ASEAN Energy: The Key to Growth
ASEAN is one of the fastest growing regions in the world; a diverse, dynamic economy worth over US$ 2 trillion and with a projected growth of 4 to 6 per cent in coming years. Yet without sufficient energy investment, that growth will falter. As such, 2016 will be a pivotal year in developing the energy landscape moving forward.

ASEAN’s primary energy mix is predicted to rise on average 4.7 per cent each year, to reach 1,685 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) by 2035 according to the ASEAN Centre for Energy.

Ultra Super Critical: These Badass Machines Help Make 30 Percent Of The World’s Power

Tomas Kellner
January 07, 2016
When GE acquired Alstom’s power and grid business last fall, it bought some of world’s largest wind and water turbines, “ultra-super-critical” steam turbines - that's their real name - massive generators and other advanced technology for making lots of electricity. So much so that with Alstom, GE technology can now generate one third of the world’s power.

Eyes in the Sky: #DRONEWEEK Will Beam Aerial Footage From GE’s Boot Camp for Jet Engines on Periscope

July 17, 2015
Before a new GE machine design gets cleared for production, it has to go through rigorous testing and endure conditions it will likely never see in service – from golf ball-size hail to exploding jet engine fan blades. In the U.S., the company’s testing facilities are sometimes located in remote corners of the country and even employees rarely see more than a couple.
But that’s about to change. Starting Monday, GE will use drones to beam footage from five testing sites and factories to everyone with the Periscope app on its channel @generalelectric.
