Controls Convergence Background: Controls are the computers or brains on every industrial machine that ensure safe operation, while allowing it to behave as directed by the operator. Today, GE researchers are taking automated controls beyond what they do in our products today to enable truly “brilliant machines” that raise their performance to new heights. This vision is bold and would not have been possible even a few years ago. But rapid advances in high-performance computing, software and analytics have put this vision squarely within our sights. For starters, these advances have allowed us to embed more knowledge within the machines themselves. Then, harnessing cloud connectivity and the power of our new software platform called Predix, we’re connecting every GE machine to the cloud. Finally, we’re implementing a common communications platform and robust security into every GE asset, so that all our machines, whether a gas turbine or wind turbine, can talk the same language. This will enable “plug and play systems” that allow us to leverage the scale of GE offerings into solutions while getting substantial reductions in commissioning and engineering requisition time. GE business applications: GE’s Wind business has been an early adopter of advanced controls technology that has enabled the business to improve the energy capture of its 1.6MW-100M wind turbines by 20% while also lowering materials costs on the manufacturing side. Using a family of technology called model-based controls, we can model the physics of what happens to wind turbines under varying wind conditions. We can analyze factors like stress on the turbine tower or what the optimal pitch of a wind blade should be to maximize wind capture. By accurately predicting what will happen, we can then design special control features in the turbine that enable the turbine to adjust to changing conditions on its own for peak performance. In the case of the 1.6MW–100M, the pitch of the turbine’s blade will automatically adjust to capture wind in the most advantageous way while mitigating the impact of stress incoming winds place on the tower. By relieving stress, these turbines can be manufactured with materials that are lower in cost to help make wind energy more cost competitive. GE is using model-based controls in our Transportation business as well to improve how trains are driven. Taking our knowledge about the train, the tracks, and the inter-car forces and stresses of operation, we created a product called Trip Optimizer that is now used by major railroads all over the world. It is essentially smart cruise control for trains that is delivering a sustainable 10% fuel savings on average per train. The GE Store difference: Controls technology is allowing GE to take our physics, domain, and operations knowledge and apply it in real- time on our machines. Almost everything we sell uses a control system to manage the operation of the asset. Across the businesses, GE’s controls expertise is broad and deep. Creating a common, advanced controls platform for all of the GE businesses to draw upon is unlocking a new “plug and play” world where we can take a solution for one business and readily transfer it to another. The end result is already proving new levels of competitiveness and new classes of services for our assets. 12PDF Image | GE Store for Technology
