Power Project Provides Shelter from the Storm
34
A project to install microgrids in schools across Puerto Rico is part of the
island's " roadmap to resiliency, " designed to strengthen infrastructure and ensure
reliable power in an area battered by natural and economic disasters. The
solar-plus-storage installations are especially important to rural communities
that rely on schools for shelter during major storms.

Fusion Energy Is Coming, and Maybe Sooner Than You Think
36
It may still be too early for utility resource planners to begin preparing for
electricity from fusion, but the time grows closer for when fusion is an option
for large power generation projects. It's important to have clear knowledge
of the current fusion landscape, with an understanding of the projects taking
place over the next several years.
WORKFORCE
Assembling a Skilled Workforce in 2020 and Beyond
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered many companies' hiring plans, but it
should not change the goal of hiring the best workforce. Companies should
continue to invest the time and resources necessary to identify and hire top
candidates, while remembering the importance of building a respected brand.
TECHNOLOGY
Executing Successful Projects with Reality Capture Technology
42
The world is in 3D. Documentation of builds and retrofits within power plants
should be in 3D, too. Today's suppliers of reality capture technology know the
importance of supporting clients with modeling of the point cloud, simulations,
clash detection, overlays, drawings, software training, and workflow
implementation.
WASTE TO ENERGY
Waste-to-Energy Strategies Are Not Dead
Waste-to-energy plants have been in use for years, and the technology is seeing
a resurgence in some areas as a solution to the problem of disposing of
municipal solid waste. Turning garbage into usable gas is among the environmentally
friendly ways the issue of too much trash is being resolved.
EQUIPMENT SHOWCASE
Construction Equipment
The equipment showcase section includes products from a variety of vendors
that serve the power generation industry. This month the focus is on construction
equipment.
