기후 변화 문제에 대한 헌신 – GE는 어떻게 에너지 전환에 도전하는가
GE는 지난 10월 15일, 2030년까지 GE에서 탄소중립 실현을 목표로 한다고 발표했다. 2030년 목표 달성을 위한 노력은 전세계 1,000개 이상의 거점에서 신규 운영(사업) 투자, 폐기물 감소 및 에너지 절약, 그리고 스마트 전력의 조달을 추진하여, 이산화탄소(CO2) 직접 배출량과 에너지 사용량의 절대적인 절감을 통해 실현될 것이다
에너지전환
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
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
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
If you had X-ray vision, how would you use it? These GE Research engineers use it to capture data from lower-than-surface-level errors in additively manufactured metal parts. Here, they’re analyzing that data, inspecting every layer of metal to find the source of the error. This process helps them design smarter software for additive manufacturing machines. Which means better, stronger parts. That's a pretty good use of a superpower, if you ask us. #AdditiveManufacturing #Data #3DPrinting
