AI HR Solutions: Top Networking LinkedIn Groups for LinkedIn Hiring Excellence in 2026

The solar industry is quickly changing the way the grid is operated and maintained. One of the byproducts of this rapid change: the current regulatory construct is not aligned with this new paradigm. To help close this gap and support BulkSystem reliability, we are announcing the beginning of the Solar Regulatory Compliance Association (SRCA). The SRCA establishes a collaborative and cohesive group to share knowledge and gain consensus to enact positive regulatory changes for thegrid of the future. This group is a forum for solar professionals to share best practices and contribute to the development of a sustainable and reliable energy future. The SRCA was established by Cypress Creek Renewables, Radian, and GridSME, representing a diverse group of owners, operators, asset managers, and industry consultants. However, we are looking for more companies to join the SRCA as lead members. The primary goals of the association are as follows: 1) Share information and provide educational opportunities within the solar industry to promote compliance and reliability. 2) Establish industry consensus of the application of regulatory requirements. 3) Influence regulatory change in cases where the letter or intent of requirements are not aligned or compatible with solar PV technology.

Regular updates about the EU Horizon 2020 HEFT Project. HEFT considers that an energy-efficient rare-earth synchronous motor is the best option for next-generation high-power primary axle traction EVs and proposes a set of innovation challenges onsynchronous motor configuration based on SiC inverters (direct cooling of rotor and stator, advance insulation for high voltage, multibarrier rotor topology, wave windings) and advanced materials (advanced GBD magnets, epoxy for magnet fixation, composite for motor housing, insulation resin). These innovations will result in a high-efficient and low-cost solution that will be validated on 2 motor topologies, which compared to two main reference automotive IPM commercial motors in Europe (VW ID.3 and FIAT500) will lead to the next impacts: >800V, 20% reduction losses, >7 KW/kg and 42kW/ldensity, 28% cheaper, 50-66% material savings, including 60% reduction of REE content and >80% REE recyclability rate. As this solution is still dependent on REE from China, HEFT will be aligned with the ERMA action plan towards a circular economy market of rare earth permanent magnets and suggests one alternative magnet route (Ce based) and two REE recycled routes together with policies promotion towards the foundation of a European rare earths industry, capable of delivering 20% of EU demand by 2030. HEFT plans 8 WPs to implement these concepts, where 5 research partners will be essential for developing innovative ideas around the design-to-x approach, while strong companies (GKN, MAGNETI, VYNCOLIT) will ensure that HEFT results have a clear market orientation and fulfill the industry needs. HEFT plans to organize OEM workshops to ensure wide adoption of HEFT solutions, but also with policymakers to promote regulations towards the EU circular market that would help maintain the leadership of EU companies while increasing their competitiveness and job opportunities linked to the new circular business models.

It can be argued that the power industry is one of the most important industries in the world. The need for electrical power is essential for the development of society and the welfare of people; without electric power, the world would still be in the dark-ages. For this reason, it is understandable why many people would want to become involved not only within this industry, but also with developing and sharing their technical knowledge to create state-of-the-art and world practices / standards. To facilitate this desire of many, CIGRÉ was established to develop and distribute technical knowledge and experience in the field of the generation and transmission of high voltage electricity. It does this by providing an interactive forum that brings together key players, research workers, producers, manufacturers, system operators, traders, and regulatory bodies. Originally founded in France in 1921, this organisation has expanded worldwide with representatives from more than eighty countries. To the non-member (and even to some members), the CIGRÉ organisation can appear complex and exclusive. To the inexperienced engineer starting out in the power industry, becoming involved with such a prestigious organisation can appear difficult and daunting. In order to overcome these barriers that seem to be in place for new, the 'Next Generation Network' (NGN) has been established in order to ensure that everyone's opinions and views are heard, to bring a fresh look to an ever ageing industry and more importantly, so inexperienced engineers can learn from the many experts within the industry. That is, the NGN (with members who will no doubt form part of the future CIGRÉ organisation) will provide the next generation of engineers to lead and to be at the forefront of the power industry in the 21st Century and beyond. For those wanting to get involved within CIGRÉ and the NGN, this group will facilitate this aim.

The evolving electric grid, with increased renewables, low natural gas prices and continued market changes has forced power plants across the world to be more flexible and adaptable. While new technology allows units to be more flexible, majority of power plants were originally designed for baseload operation. This forum allows experts from across the world to share their experiences on how best to mitigate the challenge faced by the industry.

Advanced PE relies on new materials such as silicon carbide or gallium nitride which constitute the basis of innovative high performance semiconducting elements. Such elements are requested for the fabrication of efficient devices to be used under the harsh requirements of large scale renewable energy generators such as wind turbines. Integrated into, e.g., thetrain ofcars or the active feedback control of smart houses, this nextPE leads to significant energy savings and enables sustainable energy consumption. Transfer of knowledge about advanced PE from research to business is challenged by technical and economic barriers, as well as information gaps. Green PE mitigates these gaps by demonstrating technical solutions and economic potentials in power electronics. The project supports companies to adopt their business and innovation strategies to the new opportunities deriving from advanced PE.
