en mi opinión (continuación de la pág. 92)
de sistemas de energía (iiesi.org) (IIESI, por sus siglas en inglés) reconoce
claramente la importancia de esto, incluso cuando la lista de autores pertenece sobre todo al lado de la ingeniería
y las ciencias duras.
Hay al menos tres razones por las
que ESI puede contribuir a la superación de esta brecha. Primero, el ESI
renovable ha llegado durante un período de transición de un sistema de
energía centralizado a uno descentralizado. Nuevos accionistas, incluidos
ciudadanos privados, cooperativas,
empresas y municipios, regiones y
estados tienen diferentes configuraciones de la propiedad, especialmente de los recursos energéticos renovables. Por lo tanto, ESI es tanto una
cuestión de la propiedad del sistema

como una cuestión de propiedades físicas del sistema. Basta con mirar la
tendencia de prosumidores, cooperativas y empresas que invierten en energía limpia.
El nivel de integración física de un
sistema dependerá también de quién es
el propietario y del interés en la integración. Siempre que nos preguntamos
cómo luce un sistema de energía óptima, debemos prestarle la misma atención a cuánta biomasa puede contribuir
en determinar qué tipo de propiedad
debería promoverse. Eso abre una discusión donde el científico social no es
el niño raro de la esquina que consigue
un paquete de proyecto para solucionar
el problema con ese "factor humano".
En segundo lugar, como las tecnologías renovables como la eólica y

solar han madurado, se ha vuelto cada
vez más evidente que algunas de las
principales barreras para aumentar
su participación en el mercado de la
energía no son técnicas. La Plataforma
Europea de Tecnología y de Innovación
para la Energía Eólica (ETIPWind, por
sus siglas en inglés) publicó recientemente su agenda estratégica para la
investigación y la innovación, y uno de
los cinco pilares prioritarios identificados es la industrialización. Mientras
que la industrialización requiere soluciones técnicas para la producción,
logística y mantenimiento de los aerogeneradores, esta tiene un componente
substancial de la organización.
O toma en cuenta los debates de la
democracia de la energía, que promueven la propiedad local de producción

Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Faculty Search for Power and Energy Faculty
at the Charleston Innovation Campus in N. Charleston, SC and the Clemson University main campus in Clemson, SC.

Applications and nominations are sought for multiple faculty positions in electrical power engineering at two locations: Clemson University's new Zucker Family Graduate
Education Center at its Charleston Innovation Campus in North Charleston, SC (http://www.clemson.edu/restoration/) and the main Clemson campus in Clemson, SC
(http://www.clemson.edu/ece/). Each position will be filled with an individual who merits the rank of Associate or Full Professor with tenure and who has a nationally recognized
record of outstanding scholarship. Appropriately qualified candidates may be considered for a Titled Professorship. The candidate's teaching and research should encompass a
broad range of topics related to power systems, electric machines and drives, power electronics, energy storage, energy analytics, and wind and solar power integration. A solid
understanding of the cyberinfrastructure-related areas of power systems such as embedded systems, cybersecurity, networking, and remote sensing is also important. The persons
filling the positions in both N. Charleston, SC, and Clemson, SC will hold a faculty position in the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson
University.
The Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is one of the largest and most active departments at Clemson, with 36 faculty members, approximately 550
undergraduates and 200 graduate students. The Charleston Campus houses a $98M power facility initiated in 2009 from a $45M Department of Energy grant. The facility
includes the SCE&G Energy Innovation Center which contains the world's most-advanced wind-turbine drivetrain testing facility capable of full-scale highly accelerated
mechanical and electrical testing of advanced drivetrain systems for wind turbines. The SCE&G Energy Innovation Center also houses the Duke Energy Electrical Grid Research
Innovation and Development Center, a facility with real-time simulation and 20MVA hardware-in-the-loop capability. The main campus includes state-of-the-art real-time
simulation facilities for research in intelligent control of the electric grid, a modern power-electronics laboratory, and a strong undergraduate and graduate emphasis in power
systems.
Clemson University is the land-grant institution for the State of South Carolina enrolling approximately 17,100 undergraduates and 4,300 graduate students. Five interdisciplinary
colleges house strong programs in architecture, engineering, science, agriculture, business, social sciences, arts and education. A faculty of 1,400 and staff of 3,500 support 84
undergraduate degree offerings, 73 master's degree programs and 40 Ph.D. programs. An annual operating budget of approximately $956 million and an endowment of $623
million fund programs and operations. The University has externally funded research expenditures of $100 million per year. Research and economic development activities are
enhanced by public-private partnerships at 3 innovation campuses and 6 research and education centers located throughout South Carolina. Clemson University is ranked 23rd
among national public universities by U.S. News & World Report.
Applicants must have an earned doctorate in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field. Applicants should submit a current curriculum vitae, statements of research
and teaching strategy, and a minimum of five references with full contact information. Application material should be submitted electronically at the following Web link:
https://apply.interfolio.com/39798
The cover letter should indicate whether the Charleston or Clemson location (or both) is of interest to the applicant. To ensure full consideration, applicants must apply by
February 15, 2017; however, the search will remain open until the position is filled.
Clemson University is an AA/EEO employer and does not discriminate against any person or group on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, pregnancy, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation,
veteran status or genetic information. Clemson University is building a culturally diverse faculty and staff committed to working in a multicultural environment and encourages applications from minorities
and women.
