June 17, 2016
First the latest news from Guinness World Records: The world’s most efficient combined-cycle power plant started producing electricity near the village of Bouchain in northern France today. The plant’s beating heart – an advanced GE gas turbine – can convert more than 62 percent of fuel energy into electricity. For the power-generation crowd, that’s like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landing on the moon or Sir Roger Bannister breaking through the 4-minute-mile barrier.

There, just outside the industrial city of Turin, the combination of renewable energy, traditional generation and a high-voltage cable from France has created more power supply than the region can absorb. So much so, in fact, the glut took at least one decades-old power plant out of commission in 2013.

The French port of Saint-Nazaire lines the northern shore of the Loire estuary as the river empties its muddy waters into the Atlantic Ocean. The city may not be large, but the 70,000 people who live there are used to making very big things.
The world’s fastest and largest liners, including Normandie and Queen Mary 2, sprung from its dry docks. The port also serves as a transit hub for the fuselage and wings that make the double-decker Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft.

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.”

GE kept working on jet engines, which are now GE Aviation’s core product. The $24 billion business makes the world’s largest jet engines, now roughly 100 times more powerful than Sorota’s original. The latest engines like the GEnx and LEAP can be connected to the data cloud to analyze their efficiency and operations. A jet engine with GE technology takes off every two seconds somewhere in the world. Says Sorota: “It never dawned on me it was going to turn over the entire aircraft industry like it did.”

Engineer Mark Leary has been helping GE Aviation build jet engines for three decades. The work is in his blood — literally. More that 60 years ago, Mark’s mother, Patricia, helped the company design the supersonic engine that allowed Lockheed to build the F-104 Starfighter jet, known as “the missile with a man in it” and capable of sustained flight at twice the speed of sound, or Mach 2.

Instead, they use software and advanced data analytics to match supply with demand and give customers what they are looking for in the most direct way.
