Solar Grid Connect : Things to know about

Image
  Over the past several years, the solar industry has experienced significant growth as the growing demand for renewable energy has led to an increased demand for solar panels.     What is Solar Grid Connect PV System?    A grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system is one in which the solar modules are linked to the grid and can generate electricity. A solar PV system is one of the world’s fastest-growing energy sources, potentially producing around 50 GW by 2030.    Want to make a career as a renewable energy technician?    As the field of renewable energy technology continues to evolve, the need for technicians, who specialise in designing, installing and maintaining solar panels, is higher than ever. This has led to a demand for workers training in solar panel installation and repair, which has created a significant opportunity for those looking to enter the solar industry.    As a technician, you get to work on the latest technolo...

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) – What is it, and what are the benefits?

Image
  From generating electricity to producing food, many of the most critical industrial processes today are performed by automated machinery. Our ability to innovate and produce has been boosted by automation technology. However, our current level of automation is only possible with the invention of the programmable logic controller (PLC). What is a Programmable Logic Controller? A programmable logic controller is a small computer with inputs for data and outputs for sending and receiving commands. A PLC’s primary duty is to regulate a system’s operations using the underlying logic that has been programmed into it. PLCs are used by businesses all over the world to automate their most crucial procedures. A PLC takes in inputs from automated data capture points or human input points such as switches or buttons. Based on its programming, the PLC decides whether to change the output. The outputs of a PLC can manage a wide range of machinery, including motors, solenoid valves, lighting, s...

The Booming Future of Electrical Instrumentation

Image
  What is Electrical Instrumentation?     Today, nearly all industries are automatised. You can find instruments in laboratories, factories, and automobiles, as well as in the everyday items you use.    The automation of the industrial processes requires:     highly programmed electronic equipment to perform tasks that were once performed by humans;    skilled technicians to operate, maintain, upgrade, modify, and repair these automated machines;  upgrade in the skills of instrumentation and control systems with evolving technologies and standards.    Scope of Instrumentation Technicians and Engineers      In areas such as process control, oil and gas, mineral processing, food, and chemical processing, the demand for Instrumentation and Control (IC) technicians is rising. In the end, safety and process efficiency are its primary goals.    Job opportunities for Instrumentation electrician and instrumentation engineers ...

What is Classification of Electrical Hazardous Area?

Image
  Hazardous Area classification (HAC) is a method of analysing and classifying the environment where explosive gas atmospheres may occur to facilitate the proper selection and installation of equipment to be used safely in that environment.    For instance, oil and gas facilities, fertiliser plants, mineral processing facilities, gas stations or service stations are considered hazardous regions. In fact, common substances, given the right conditions, can create explosive atmospheres including combustible dust and gases.       What is the need for area classification?    Over the past two centuries, dozens of destructive workplace events have resulted in thousands of deaths and destruction. Globally, explosions at workplaces such as mines, factories, and storage facilities have caused tremendous loss of life and property. As a result, HAC and compliance standards have increased to protect people, industry, and the environment from harm.   The ...
