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.

Distributed Energy Resources include small scale generation (such as solar photo-voltaic systems and wind power), batteries, electric vehicles connected to smart two-way chargers, and other new smart technologies that will see our homes and business play an active role in the operation of the power system of the future. This group is a bunch of missfits who enjoy discussing the past, present and future solutions and opportunities that are evolving within the New Zealand environment. New technologies, ideas and methods are all welcome.

The Shop Rat Foundation is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization with a mission to advance the skilled trade industries by opening the minds of our youth by building unique and innovative projects from concept to completion. Founded by Chris Salow, a manufacturing entrepreneur who saw the need to inspire the next generation of workers, the foundation was developed to provide hands-on educational opportunities to students who live in a society that is dissolving hands-on skilled trade education from school curriculum. What Do We Do? Shop Rat Education Programs In 2006, The Shop Rat Foundation began the Shop Rat Education Program, an afterschool class for local 6-10th grade students to learn how to use tools and machinery to inspire them to further their education in the skilled trade industry, and/or to become more 'hands-on' dependant citizens. This is a fun project-based introductory course where kids build innovative and unique projects such as two-seat hovercrafts, electric wheelie cars, solar power mini cars, hydraulic robots and many more large and small projects. This provides them with the framework to understand and safely use tools and machinery, gain problem solving skills, and increase 'hands-on' confidence that will enable students to seek out further education in the skilled trade industry. Community Involvement Along with our locally led programming, we also offer both paid and un-paid assistance to other organizations or events that are holding Shop Rat Programs or using Shop Rat Projects who simply need assistance with holding hands-on projects. We enjoy helping the community out by sharing our projects and hands-on instruction at a variety of events. The more of our youth that we can impact the better! Examples of these include a Shop Rat Classes at Chelsea Middle School, Focus-Hope Shop Rat Classes (Detroit Schools) Hands-on Learning Fair, Big Brothers Big Sister Shop Rat Night, and other events that allow us to further our mission.

Bismarck State College’s National Energy Center of Excellence offers online and classroom training for the energy industry. Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degrees can be earned, or courses can simply be taken for professional development and training. Classes are available in Renewable Generation (wind, solar, tidal, hydro, biomass),Technology (distribution), ElectricalSystems Technology (system operations), Power Plant (fossil generation), Process (refining, gasification, ethanol, biodiesel) and Nuclear Power Technologies. In addition, a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Energy Management is available entirely online. The classes are offered in a convenient block-style format, giving students the opportunity to complete a class in 3-6 weeks. The National Energy Center of Excellence is also known for their non-credit offerings such as Smart Grid and NERC CEH courses, apprenticeship programs and customized training packages.

Career guidance is a formal way for people to receive advice on their career at different stages. Along with this advice, this process often involves formal programs that help people both plan and execute any decisions they make in their career. What is an engineers career path? A Guide to Engineering Career Pathways | As you figure out your education, you should consider the four main types of engineering careers: chemical engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. Each of these engineering types is home to all kinds of engineering career pathways. Civil Engineers are concerned with planning, investigation, survey, design, supervision, and all work connected with construction. They specialize in structural engineering, water management engineering, highway engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, or environmental engineering. Mechanical Engineers design, operate and maintain machines, components, machine tools,systems and processes, components of thermal power stations, solar energy, air conditioning and refrigeration and industrial engineering. They are involved in both the fundamental and applied aspects of these areas. Electrical Engineers are concerned with the generation, distribution, use of electrical power, control and instrumentation. They work withthat produces and distributes electricity such as generators, transmission lines, transformers,and wiring in buildings. They designmotors, machinery and ignition systems which are required by automobiles, aircrafts and all kinds of motorized vehicles and equipments. Aerospace Engineers work in aeronautical and spacecraft engineering. They design, analyze, construct, develop, test and manufacture commercial and military aircrafts, missiles, and spacecrafts

The Yokohama Smart Community is based on the concept of a community both learning from and using nature, as advocated by Yoshimichi Nakamura, CTO and founder of Smart Energy Laboratory, a company deeply involved in the development of energy-related equipment for many years. Nakamura developed the vision of a system for the energy requirements of the Smart House based on the mechanisms of production, storage, and control of energy employed by plant cells, and developed a practical energy system which has since been implemented and evaluated by Fukuoka Smart House Consortium. His work in perfecting the energy system of this single house has resulted in a means for interchange of energy between houses. Based on these results, the energy requirements for a community of houses can be flexibly balanced with the commercialgrid, solar power, and wind power generation. Practical research, and verification and testing, will be conducted on a flexible energy system incorporating storage batteries for autonomous operation to accommodate peak cuts and power outages on the power grid, and smooth introduction of renewable energy, and recharging ofvehicles. Research and development on mechanisms for coordinating home energy requirements will also be pursued.
