Training trends for electricians include new state requirements, alternative energy solutions
n emerging trend in electrical industry is the pioneering use of alternate energy sources. According to the California Energy Commission, 12.2 percent of the state's net system power last year was generated by alternative means -- geothermal, biomass, solar, wind and small hydroelectric systems. Just last year a small wind farm was installed in San Diego's East County. A local company has begun construction of an 184kW grid-connected photovoltaic system for some new family apartments under construction in Black Mountain Ranch, and new housing tracts in Carlsbad and El Cajon are offering homes that can be equipped with solar-powered water heaters.
U.S. Forces In Iraq Want More Green
The U.S. Army's Rapid Equipping Force, which is expected to begin welcoming proposals from companies to build and ship to Iraq 183 frontline renewable energy power stations. The stations would use a mix of solar and wind power to augment diesel generators at U.S. outposts. Despite desert temperatures, the hot "thermal signature" of a diesel generator can call enemy attention to U.S. outposts. With convoys still vulnerable to ambush, the fewer missions needed to resupply outposts with JP-8 fuel to run power generators the better.
