Think Differently

GE is a company who decided to tackle the world’s biggest problems and made a promise to develop those environment friendly technologies customers and governments are looking for in 2005. Since then, GE has increased its Ecomagination certified portfolio to more than 100 products, among them biogas engines, technology solutions for renewable energy and advanced membrane technology for wastewater treatment. These products help GE’s customers to improve their water use efficiency, lower costs and energy consumption, and also increase the lifespan of water management systems. GE has also set ambitious goals internally to double investments into R&D to $10 billion by 2015, while reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions and water usage by 25%.

A Stellar Treatment

If you ever spot the flashing light of the International Space Station (ISS) in its orbit during your spring evening walk, remember that GE Healthcare has its Vivid q on board. Vivid q is a compact ultrasound system roughly the size of a laptop which can provide clinical data and high-quality heart images that are crucial in understanding how the heart and its individual valves are functioning. It is part of NASA‘s new Human Research Program (HRP) that analyzes the effects of space travel on astronauts’ bodies.

Accelerating Like an Airplane

It may sound strange, but in a way a gas turbine in a power station can really accelerate like an airplane engine, thanks to the “aeroderivative” gas turbine technology which results in an unmatched combination of speed, reliability and efficiency.  Being the result of imagination at work and based on a well-kown track record of life-changing innovations, the aeroderivative technology builds flexible and efficient natural-gas power plants, allowing them to quickly increase or decrease their electricity generation to compensate for variations in wind or solar power, making it easier to use intermittent sources of renewable energy. An aeroderivative gas turbine like the FlexAero LM6000 - assembled at the GE Energy plant in Veresegyház, Hungary - can generate enough electricity for a town with as many as 50,000 homes and it can get from cold iron to 50 megawatts in just 10 minutes.

Adapt to Change

Guest post by Pawel Buczek, Mechanical Systems Sub-Section Manager at the Engineering Design Center (EDC), Warsaw

The first time I heard about the Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP), a special training program designed for fresh graduates by the GE Engineering Design Center (EDC) in Warsaw in Poland, I thought it would be a real challenge and I knew another opportunity like this might not come again soon. I became one of the three young engineers with whom the program started in 2006. Today, I am Sub-Section Manager in the aviation part of the Design Center where I lead a team of almost 40 engineers responsible for various engine lines.

Happy Together – Why Business Relationships Matter

Energy requirements can vary from country to country and from customer to customer. There is no single Energy solution, no “one-size-fits-all” panacea. However, given today’s economic and environmental constraints, there is a huge need to tackle our energy challenges head-on. At GE, we recognize that we cannot do it alone. Being in business for more than a century has taught us a lot, in particular the power of cooperation in helping solve business issues and also gaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.

Let’s Fall in Love with Science

Partnership between industries and universities is a key aspect for EU sustainable competitiveness towards the US and Asian economies.  In support of this policy, GE Aviation Czech offers a GE Engineering Trainee program for university students.  “Participation in the program provides me more than just knowledge, I can also observe how an international company works”, says Filip Archalous, a student at Czech Technical University and an intern in GE Aviation Czech.  Filip fell in love with flying as a kid and always wanted to become an engineer.
