POWER FACTOR MONITORING As an electrical technician, your responsibilities should include: #Regularly Monitoring Power Factor: Implement a routine monitoring program to measure and track the power factor at various points in the plant's electrical distribution system. #Identifying and Addressing Issues: Analyze the power factor data to identify any areas with low power factor and investigate the underlying causes, such as the operation of inductive loads or capacitive effects. #Implementing Corrective Measures: Recommend and implement appropriate corrective measures, such as the installation of power factor correction capacitors, to improve the overall power factor and optimize the plant's energy efficiency. #Maintaining Power Factor Correction Equipment: Ensure that any power factor correction equipment, such as capacitor banks, are properly maintained and functioning correctly. #Educating Plant Personnel: Provide training and guidance to plant operators and other personnel on the importance of power factor and the steps they can take to maintain a high power factor. By constantly monitoring and maintaining the power factor in the processing plant, the electrical technician can contribute to significant energy savings, improved equipment performance, and overall cost-effectiveness for the facility.

Building, operating, and maintaining any power generation project requires a high level of electrical safety awareness, training, technical skills, knowledge, and the personal discipline to always act in a safe manner. ACP has released draft Guidelines for Entry-Level Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Technician Training and is seeking public comment from ACP members, training institution colleges, trade schools and industry players. The Entry-Level BESS Technician Guidelines will establish a transparent and valid set of standardized skills for entry level technician roles in operations and maintenance for BESS facilities. These guidelines will help: - Alleviate the continued pressure on costs and resources - Reduce bottlenecks in training - Provide a stable, competent entry level workforce - Reduce recruitment constraints by knowledgeable entry level O&M technicians ready for company qualifications and experience - Decrease training duplication - Reduce the pressure on recruitment and training.

Anyone looking to transfer their military engineering skills to Renewable Energy.

Recruiting in Renewable Energy, we speak with candidates all over the country on a daily basis. It brings some interesting insights into where the industry currently stands. What has become more and more apparent over the past 12-18 months and particularly coming into 2024 is the amount of skilled people wanting to cross train and who now see their future in renewables. Particularly Engineers. We've been speaking with Heating Engineers, Electricians, Plumbers and many other trades for over 10 years (collectively). We used to speak to Heating Engineers and they'd say they didn't see the future in Heat Pumps. We'd speak to Electricians who had dabbled in Solar when the tarriff's were high but had gone back to 'standard' Electrical work after. Now we speak to Heating Engineers who genuinely can't wait to upskill on Heat Pumps, Electrician's training up on Solar PV & EV Charging and many more similar conversations. A cynical person may think they are just going where the money is... perhaps that is the case for some. From the conversations we've had, people are excited to move towards renewables as its a new challenge, others are conscious that the job they do on a day to day basis will have a positive impact on our future. Its great for companies working in the industry as their business can grow. It can only be a better thing for past, present and future customers as there will be even more qualified individuals specialising in installing, servicing, maintaining and repairing green energy systems. Its great for us recruiters as our candidate pool grows. But regardless of us and our jobs... it can only be a good thing for Renewable Energy industry as a whole! The future is bright! #renewableenergy #renewables #recruitment #recruiting #heatpumps #solar #EV
