A little over a year ago, the Haliade-X offshore wind turbine set an important record when a working prototype of the machine, located at the Port of Rotterdam, became the first wind turbine to produce 288 megawatt-hours of energy within 24 hours. That may have been enough to power 30,000 households in that area but it wasn’t enough for the Haliade-X, which just bested the feat.

Jamie Pierce knows a few things about rotors. Pierce works at GE Renewable Energy — the GE unit that makes some of the world’s most powerful wind turbines — and has spent three decades in the U.S. Navy, including 13 years of active duty as a helicopter pilot. Pierce’s day job as an executive in the Renewable Energy Project Management Office now involves some of the most complex wind projects. Just in time for Veterans Day, Pierce shared with GE Reports his story as well and insights about the importance of recruiting and hiring veterans. See our video and edited Q&A below.

Last December, when Time magazine listed the Haliade-X among the best inventions of 2019, it was just one in a series of milestones for the mighty machine — the most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation today. Following its moment in the media spotlight, the Haliade-X proceeded to set a world record by generating 288 megawatt-hours of electrical energy in a single day.

 John Lavelle has seen many powerful machines during his nearly four decades as a GE engineer. But none measure up to the Haliade-X, the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation. The turbine set a world record earlier this year when it generated 288 megawatt-hours of electrical energy in a single day. That’s enough to power 30,000 homes in Rotterdam, where the first prototype is located.

Athletes have been wearing electronics that can bend and flex to the shape of their bodies, revealing how many miles they’ve logged, current heart rate and how much energy they burned. They can use the data to constantly improve their training and understand more about how their bodies are reacting to different training regiments.

They say necessity is the mother of invention and the global pandemic has created plenty of opportunities to prove the adage right. During normal times, for example, customers buying massive turbines for hydroelectric dams travel to the factories where those machines are being built to participate in what’s known as a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). This hands-on step is designed to demonstrate that everything works as it should.

But, of course, these aren’t normal times.
