Connecting The Dots: How GE Research’s Emma Renner Channels The Art Of Dominoes Into Systems Engineering

Fresh out of a master’s program at Cornell University, Emma Renner is working these days on wind turbine engineering at GE Research in Niskayuna, New York. But you can forgive her if her mind occasionally wanders off into a different topic: dominoes. Renner, 24, is part of a team that is competing in a new Fox show called “Domino Masters,” in which domino artists from around the country compete to create the most impressive topple in the time allowed. (For the uninitiated, “topple” is domino-speak for when they all fall down.)

Energy Transition: GE Tech Helps Florida Power Plant Take A Bite Out Of Emissions

Hillsborough County on Florida’s Gulf Coast is a perfect example for understanding how Florida became one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S. Encompassing the Tampa Bay metro area, it grew from a population of less than 1 million in 2000 to close to 1.5 million in 2020. And over the next 30 years, the county is projected to be the nation’s third-largest gainer in terms of population, with 600,000 more new residents coming. One thing they’ll surely need when they settle down is electricity.

Engineering Happiness: How GE Employee Harjit Birdi Is Helping Guide The Transition To Renewable Energy

Harjit Birdi has been captivated by energy systems since he was a child in India. His father was an official at the State Electricity Board. When the power went down, his dad’s job was to race through town with a crew to find the source of the fault. Despite his mother’s worries, Birdi demanded that his father take him along on his emergency expeditions. A few years later, when it was time to choose his college major, the choice was obvious. “Electrical engineering fascinated me, because energy is something you can’t see,” he says. “You can’t see those electrons.

A Powerful Connection: GE Tech To Bring Electricity To 500,000 New Yorkers From A Giant Offshore Wind Farm

There’s just one offshore wind farm generating electricity in the United States, but things are quickly changing. Several huge wind projects along America’s Eastern Seaboard are already in various stages of development, and the industry is also set to get a multi-billion-dollar boost from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed last year.But placing wind turbines far off the coast is just one part of the engineering problem. Operators also need an efficient way to bring the electricity they generate to consumers on land.

Prairie Power: In Oklahoma, One of the World’s Largest Wind Farms Just Began Spinning

Ninety years ago, Oklahoma was at the heart of the region torn apart by the Dust Bowl, a result of economic policies, shifting weather and overplowing that allowed the open plains’ high winds to sweep through and whip the earth into massive dust storms. Today those same winds are helping to bring that land back into productive use — and contributing to a cleaner atmosphere in the process.

Closing The Loop: Group Unveils A Prototype Of A Recyclable Wind Turbine Blade

Wind has been powering the world’s energy transition to a more sustainable future, but the turbines that convert wind energy into electricity come with their own carbon footprint. As a result, companies that make turbine components have tried to make the footprint smaller.
