Take A Load Off: How Software Is Cutting The Power Bill Of An Iconic French Plant

September 12, 2018
The city of Belfort in northeastern France knows all about speed and power. The hardworking town, which lies between the Vosges and Jura mountains, has made railway locomotives for nearly 150 years. The first TGVs, France’s iconic intercity high-speed trains, also rolled out of Belfort.

Mission Critical: GE’s New Digital Center In Atlanta Is Using Data From Power Plants To Spot Trouble And Save Money

Tomas Kellner
August 16, 2018
Justin Eggart and fellow engineers working inside GE Power’s Monitoring and Diagnostics Center in Atlanta were halfway through their shift a few months ago when they noticed something strange. The center, the largest of its kind in the world, looks a lot like a smaller version of NASA’s mission control center. It has banks of computers and a wall-to-wall, colorful LED screen flashing real-time operating conditions inside 5,000 turbines, generators and other equipment churning away at more than 950 power plants located in 75 countries and serving 350 million people.

A Recipe For Success: Software And Data Help Food Packaging Companies Go Digital

Amy Kover
June 01, 2018
The Swiss-based company SIG is one of the unsung heroes on food's journey from orchards and fields to your kitchen cabinet.
That's because SIG makes packaging and machines that box food, drinks, and other products at rapid-fire rates. They can fill 9,000 large cartons, 12,000 medium cartons, or 24,000 smaller cartons with veggies, soups and other foodstuffs in the space of an hour. In 2017 alone, the equipment produced 33.6 billion cartons.

Tapping the Reservoir for grid-scale energy storage

Jane Nicholls
May 23, 2018
The increase of renewable generation connecting to the grid — GE turbines are powering five new wind farms coming online in Australia in 2018 alone — brings with it the urgent need for reliable, utility-scale energy storage systems. Ensuring that the grid is stable and electricity supplies are uninterrupted with ever-greater penetration of renewables has arguably been the biggest hurdle in the decarbonisation of the world’s power generation.

The French Connection: Digital Twins From Paris Will Protect Wind Turbines Against Battering North Atlantic Gales

Dorothy Pomerantz
April 26, 2018
In the heart of Paris, a short walk from the city’s storied opera, GE engineers are busy coding software that will allow them to create “digital twins” of machines. These virtual representations of the real machines live in the cloud and use as their lifeblood data captured from their parts. The engineers are partnering with Ansys, a leader in engineering simulation software, to digitally play out different scenarios, such as running an aircraft engine longer and in a hotter or wetter environment.

Bright Lights: Connected LEDs From GE Illuminate The Future of Lighting

Kristin Kloberdanz

In 1912, in East Cleveland, Ohio, engineers at GE’s National Electric Lamp Association (NELA) Park buried a time capsule inside a hollow cornerstone of their building. The lead box held, among other items, a booklet about the “spirit of cooperation” at NELA; a book containing songs written for the “Lamp Men” and sung at their annual meeting; and five light bulbs.

The Fix Is In: AI Is Solving The Riddle Of Smarter, Faster Maintenance

P D Olson
January 08, 2018
It might seem like a cushy job to be the man or woman who works out of the carpeted offices of a power plant, coordinating field service crews who traipse out into the elements to fix, say, an idled wind turbine. But it’s far from elementary. “It’s still a judgment call,” says Scott Berg, chief operating officer of ServiceMax from GE Digital. “Dispatchers probably can’t consider all the historic factors and track record of the individual. Your ability to dispatch might be dependent on your personal knowledge of 20 people.”

Power Up: GE Software Helps Exelon Make The Most Of Its Data

Maggie Sieger
October 26, 2017
The huge Chicago-based energy company Exelon generates enough electricity to supply millions of customers in 48 states and parts of Canada.  Its wind and solar farms, hydroelectric plants and nuclear power stations also pump out a lot of valuable data about wind speeds, swings in consumer demand, the purpose and frequency of repair crew trips, and other details. In 2015, it started pooling this data in the cloud and trawling it for insights to make its power plants smarter.
