GE의 혁신적 고부가가치 비파괴검사 기술, 산업용 CT 시스템 시장을 선도한다

2017년 6월 7일

지난 1월초, GE오일앤가스는 세계 최대의 해상시추업체인 트랜스오션과 1억8천만달러에 달하는 대규모 계약을 체결하였다. 6층 빌딩 규모의 대규모 시추선에 석유유출 및 고장방지시스템인 BOP(Blowout Preventers) 서비스를 제공하는 내용이었다. 예전이라면 정기적인 보수 점검 계약이었을 테지만 이번 계약은 달랐다. GE는 BOP를 위해 소프트웨어, 데이터 분석 및 기계학습 시스템 등을 제공, 배치함으로써 트랜스오션이 석유 시장에서 효율성을 극대화하도록 도울 예정이다. ‘세계 제일의 디지털/산업기업’ GE의 변화가 분명하게 보인다.

This Ultra Performance Heat Exchanger is a perfect example of how small parts can make a HUGE difference. Still in development, the additively manufactured compact heat exchanger is printed with a high-temperature capable, crack-resistant nickel superalloy that will be able to withstand temps that exceed 1,650°F at pressures >3,600 psi. Good thing, too, because it’s headed straight for the inside of a gas turbine, where it’s projected to deliver a 4% improvement in thermal efficiency for supercritical C02 power cycles while improving power output and reducing emissions. Cleaner, more efficient power generation here we come.
Slice into an additively-made part from @geadditive and you’ll see geometries once thought impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. Why the hype? Engineers can now find greater strength and efficiency through design. #engineering #additive #3Dprinting #manufacturing
Wind, meet water. In Germany’s Swabian-Franconian Forest, you’ll find the world’s tallest (584 ft) and first-ever wind turbines integrated with pumped storage hydroelectric power. So how does it work? At the base of each wind turbine sits a reservoir. Water flowing downhill from the reservoirs will power the hydro plant when electricity is needed. When there’s an energy surplus, the hydro power will push the water back up the hill to the reservoirs, where it will act as a giant battery for the wind turbines. So no matter if the wind is blowing or not, electricity will always be flowing
Colder weather is on the way. If you’re in Winnipeg, Canada, that means ice testing is too. There, @geaviation test engines are pummeled with sub-zero winds and ice. The harsh conditions on the ground make sure engines are ready to face the elements in the air. #AVgeek #jetengine #engineering
Spooky season is here, but don't let your annual mammogram scare you. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. admit to skipping breast screenings out of fear. That's why @gehealthcare engineers decided to better the experience with a mammography system designed by women, for women. Melding comforting design with cutting edge technology, the Senographe Pristina aims to humanize the process for patients, technicians, and radiologists. #BCAM #Mammography #breastcancerawareness
