클라우드 플랫폼 위에서도 발전을 한다 – 풍력발전의 효율을 20% 높이는 방법

2016년 6월 20일

모든 풍력발전단지에는DNA나 지문처럼 독특한 특징이 있다. 기계가 주변 (지형) 환경 및 바람과 상호작용하는 데이터를 수집할 수 있다면, 각 풍력발전단지에 상응하는 디지털 트윈을 구축할 수 있다. 이를 통해, 단지 내 각 풍력발전기 터빈이 가장 효율적으로 작동하도록 설계하는데 활용하고, 그 결과 풍력발전단지 전체를 지속적으로 최적할 수 있다. 이 것이 바로 GE의 “디지털 풍력발전단지”이다.

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
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.
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
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
