Cities and utilities are upgrading batteries and electrical storage to scale (BESS) to work with solar, wind and other renewables to balance load & generation in real time. Incorporating Inverter Based Resources (IBR) with more Electric Vehicle (EV), solar and wind power in microgrids creates a new level of complexity in distribution planning. The vocabulary of Electrical Engineering is expanding. 

 

This revolution in Energy Technology (ET) is changing the careers, professions and skills needed across the sectors of the Electric Power Industry. Every switch, relay, generator, solar panel, wind turbine, capacitor bank, battery and EV now has a chip in it. The amount of data to be understood and managed for computer-based modeling and decision-making is exploding. 

 

Energy Technology, Operations Technology and Information Technology are blending with AI to change professions across the industry.

How work gets done, how the economics are playing out, and what skills and experiences will be highly valued by employers are evolving. Those who master AI will be game changers.
