GE Renewable Energy announced today that its Haliade-X 12 MW prototype, the world’s most powerful wind turbine in operation today, has received a full type certificate from DNV GL, the world’s largest independent certification body. This full type certification, which follows a provisional type certification announced in June, provides independent verification that the new turbines will operate safely, reliably and according to design specifications. It is a key step in enabling customers to obtain financing when purchasing the turbines.

GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business has been awarded a contract with Spanish Transmission System Operator RED ELÉCTRICA DE ESPAÑA S.A. for ten mobile substations for the Canary and Balearic Islands, including one SF₆-free substation that will support Spain in its decarbonization goals.

GE Digital today introduced its Operations Performance Management (OPM) solution for Power Generators. This robust three-module solution increases revenue and margins by coupling Process Digital Twin technology based on first principles (physics-based modelling), AI, and advanced machine learning, with cutting-edge modelling and analytics and edge control, enabling optimized power plant performance across a generation fleet.

GE Renewable Energy announced today its selection by SB Energy (SoftBank Group) to supply, install and commission 121 sets of its 2.7-132 onshore wind turbines, cumulating 327 MW, to be installed at Pritam Nagar wind farm in Madhya Pradesh, India

GE Digital today introduced a purpose-built Visual Intelligence Platform for utilities. The SaaS solution is designed to ingest all forms of visual inspection data and executes workflows and automated analysis which contextualizes data into Digital Twins of the network and environment.

GE Aviation announced today its GE9X engine has been certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorities, a key milestone in its journey to power the new twin-engine Boeing 777X family.

The three GE engineers were all worrying about the same thing: Would the crane and the generator arrive at the same time? Ganesh Potharaju, Guy Stoeckel and Charlie Clement had spent months planning, down to the minute, how to swap out a 30-year-old steam-powered generator for a brand-new one at the Calaca power station on Luzon, the largest and most populous island in the Philippines.

Developing artificial intelligence that can obey traffic laws while navigating a 3,000-pound vehicle through busy city streets is a complex feat, and many are stepping up to address the challenge.

GE Healthcare today introduced its Thoracic Care Suite, a collection of eight artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms from Lunit INSIGHT CXR to help alleviate clinical strain due to COVID-19. The AI suite quickly analyzes chest x-ray findings and flags abnormalities to radiologists for review, including pneumonia, which may be indicative of COVID-19 as well as tuberculosis, lung nodules, and other radiological findings.

Last fall, a towering structure rose over the Port of Rotterdam, a deep-water shipping terminal in the Netherlands. It wasn’t there to unload ships, though: It was a prototype of the Haliade-X 12 MW, the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbine today.
