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.

Ever since Charles Brush built the first wind-powered generator in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1887, engineers have been looking for a practical way to squeeze more power out of wind turbines, stretching their blades and making them grow taller.

GE Renewable Energy announced today it has been selected by POWERICA Ltd to supply 38 of its 2.7-132 onshore wind turbines to be installed at the Rajkot and Khambaliya wind farms in Gujarat, India.

A sensor as small as a grain of rice competes with classic analytical instrumentation.

New capabilities could enable a multitude of robotic applications, ranging from non-destructive inspection and repair of industrial infrastructure pipe inspection to supporting wireless infrastructure construction.

GE Renewable Energy to provide six new hydropower Francis turbines and generators for the Dasu hydropower plant to support the country’s power infrastructure.

GE Research to lead project with Exelon Generation, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, University of Tennessee-Knoxville and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy to develop Artificial Intelligence-enabled predictive maintenance digital twins.
