Day in the life of a wind engineer
As the site manager at Mumbida Wind farm in Western Australia he has responsibility for 22 wind turbines dotted across some 1,000 acres.
Each day, following an hour drive out to the site, he hosts an intense briefing session with staff to develop a clear understanding of the conditions.
Predictable power from thin air
Unpredictable winds and weather patterns can play havoc with the structured world of energy grids.
Enter GE’s solution, the Brilliant Turbine.
At 33 stories high, with rotor blades extending 50 metres in length, these massive structures contain unique battery software applications that are shifting the winds back into energy producers’ favour.
