by Brianna Crandall — August 17, 2016 — RedVector, provider of eLearning and workforce training solutions for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC); industrial; and facilities management industries in all 50 states, has released electrical engineering courses covering more viable system choices for energy efficiency, reliability, availability and cost savings.
As the Natural Resources Defense Council and other agencies have encouraged action to accelerate adoption of energy efficiency best practices, RedVector’s new mobile-ready Electrical Engineering Training Series covers DC Power in the Data Center, Cogeneration Systems, Microgrid Essentials and Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). These systems and innovations have major advantages in saving energy and money and powering through adverse conditions, reminds Red Vector.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), DC microgrids have proven their superiority over their traditional AC counterparts, creating 90% less losses and 20%–30% cost savings. Additional findings have shown that today’s typical data center server operates at only 12%–18% of capacity, wasting large amounts of energy powering equipment doing little or no work.
Bobby Person, RedVector product director, pointed out:
Our new electrical engineering courses were designed for our engineering clients who know the importance and the value of improving energy efficiency. Whether it’s a microgrid or an uninterruptable power supply, we must look beyond traditional tactics and study new innovations and systems.
Course presenter John Peterson is a licensed professional engineer, certified energy manager, a registered project management professional with PMI, and a LEED accredited professional.
