New winds are blowing off the coast of Yorkshire, where @gerenewableenergy just signed a deal to provide 190 Haliade-X 13 MW units for the first two phases of the Dogger Bank wind farm. This deal marks the first contract agreement for GE’s Haliade-X platform, a 13 MW uprated version of the successful prototype in Rotterdam. With a 220-meter rotor and 107-meter blades, the Haliade-X is the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation. #renewableenergy #wind #windturbine #windfarm #engineering #renewables
Designing a blade that can both withstand the heat of a jet engine and wow the masses at the @themuseumofmodernart ? That’s the art of engineering.
Need a gas turbine repair? Time to fire up the plasma torch. Our @ge__power repair engineers in Greenville, SC use these torches to rebuild metal that gets worn down from regular wear and tear in the field. A quick melt from the torch, a sprinkle of powdered metal, and the parts are looking good as new #engineering #gaspower #gasturbine #energy
If you’re looking for a new oven to perfect your sourdough bread, this isn’t it. Filled with argon or nitrogen, these giant ovens are actually used to cure additively manufactured metal pieces after they’re printed. #additivemanufacturing #3DPrinting
Precision is when you’re building 107m long wind turbine blades. Just ask the engineers at @gerenewableenergy ’s LM Wind Power blade factory in Cherbourg, France. As experts in their field, they manufacture high quality blades for a variety of wind turbine models. But when it comes to these blades for the Haliade-X, they really pushed their craft to new lengths. #RenewableEnergy #WindTurbine #Manufacturing #WindPower
