Current Electrical Engineering Skills and Technologies in Demand for New Energy Sector

Dear Sir ,

Please advise me about the new demands in the electrical field and how electrical technology changes from past years and what actually now demand industry from the engineers to keep in the market????

I am very hope full to get advise from Sir Steve or their fellows......

Not quite sure I understand your question but I beleive you are asking about current and future engineering requirements in the power industry, compared to the past. Note my experience is in utility communications in the USA and from my perspective, communications are changing much more rapidly than generation and distribution. In the past, various forms of generation was available and buildable to meet demand. Operations were manually intensive with manned substations, etc. Therefore communication required to operate the grid was relatively low bandwidth and was transmitted over inherently secure means. The generation and distribution area is a slow changing long life cycle business.

From what I have seen, the new focus is on grid security, energy demand management, and operational efficiency. As IP over ethernet has become so pervasive, security of monitoring and control circuits as well as customer data has high security requirements, especially as the grid becomes more integrated and web connected. There is a desire to operate the grid at a higher average load level relative to generation capacity, requiring programs like demand management, dynamic capacitor banks, and dynamic transmission line rating capability. Integrating new generation sources with different ownership and availability models presents challenges which must be addressed. Monitoring and mitigation of power quality issues caused by new motors types must be addressed. Improved operational efficiency leads to things like substations and customers meters being controlled and read remotely, also requiring secure communications. Grid robustness is also improving greatly, providing improved automated handling of localized faults with minimum distruption to customers. As the grid becomes more interconnected, it appears to me there are more layers involved in regional and national control and oversight. Hope that helps.

Dear Sir,

I have done Bs electrical engineering specialization in power and have been working as a distribution design engineer. I have two fields of master degree Power engineering and Smart grid technology please advice me which field has more scope in the future...

Do you plan to specialize in green technologies (primarily wind and solar)? With coal at $60.00USD per ton perhaps green technologies are not yet cost effective.

Nonetheless, Emcore's terrestrial photovoltaics seem promising: http://www.emcore.com/terrestrial-photovoltaics/terrestrial_solar_cells_and_receivers/

Sadly, we say we want to go green, but we don't want to pay for it. It is expensive to change from coal to newer technologies and unfortunately nobody has figured out a way to become a billionaire from converting from coal to green technologies.

Perhaps all wee need is a trailblazer to figure out how to make a billion dollars from green technologies. Then everyone else will want to copy him or her to get their share of the pie.

Currently there does not seem to be a business model to get obscenely wealthy from coverting to green technologies. Therefore, there is no incentive to convert.

No incentive to get rich, no reason to change.
