Winds Of Change: GE Combines Grid, Renewables Units Into A Renewable Energy Powerhouse

Tomas Kellner
January 30, 2019

Germany’s huge new offshore wind farm Merkur is an awesome sight in its own right. But it’s also a great illustration of why GE’s decision to combine its Renewable Energy business with its Grid Solutions unit, announced today, makes a lot of sense.

New Power Generation: Why America’s Largest Electric Utility Is Adding Renewables To Its Energy Mix

June 28, 2018
Electric power was still a luxury few could afford when American industrialist James Buchanan Duke and his partners decided to build a clever system of lakes and dams on the Catawba River, which runs through the Carolinas. Their first power station, which came online in 1904, used the river’s bottled-up energy to generate a meager 6,600 kilowatts.

The Rise Of The Hybrids: This Plant Combines Wind And Solar Power To Keep Renewable Electricity Flowing

Fred Guterl
June 24, 2018

Dan Juhl was building a wind farm in Woodstock, Minnesota, back in 1998, and he’d hit a snag. He needed to supply electricity to a small office building for the farm’s engineers and operators, but he couldn’t afford the local utility’s fees for hooking the building up to the grid. He could tap the wind turbines, but then how would he keep the lights on through the summer doldrums, when the wind dies down for days or weeks at a time? The solution seemed obvious: use solar panels to complement the wind.

A Bright Outlook For Solar Power In Vietnam

April 19, 2018
With energy demand in Vietnam projected to increase by more than 10 percent annually in the next five years, and required power capacity to double, the Vietnamese government is moving quickly to diversify its energy mix, including plans to generate more power from renewable sources.

Solar Power Is Becoming Cheap Enough To Compete With Fossil Fuels In The Gulf

October 08, 2017
Dubai has so many sunny days—more than 300 on average every year—it seems like a no-brainer for the city to use some of those rays to power its many glittering skyscrapers, massive malls and luxurious hotels. But that hasn’t been the case. Until recently, it was still cheaper to generate a kilowatt from oil or natural gas here.

Here Comes The Sun: This Digital Technology Will Make Solar Power More Predictable

Bruce Watson
September 11, 2017
Solar power is clean, limitless and widely available. It’s also getting cheaper. But as with any large system with multitudes of parts, reliability is key. Digital can help.
For example, some of the largest solar farms stretch over acres of cheap land often far away from where people live. If there is problem, technicians must get there, find out what’s wrong and order spare parts. Typically, they discover new issues while on-site. The farm can be offline for weeks before they fix it.
