In order to accomplish this goal, a workforce needs to be developedwith the necessary skillsets. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) workforcedevelopment analyses studies show that, “The greatest near-term solar and wind workforce needsinclude technicians and tradesmen with hands-on solar- and wind-specific experience,experienced electrical, mechanical and solar engineers, and project managers.” 13 And in orderto create this workforce a “Standardized education and training at all levels – primary

However, efficiencies of scale do arisefrom mass production and iterative refinement, once a critical number of systems have beenadopted by users worldwide. In addition, MRES devices enjoy the immense untappedpotential of having a few billion human brains attending to them. This advantage puts MRESahead of the best “artificial intelligence” that can be programmed into space resourceextractors.

A.C. Motor Drives in an Introductory Power and Controls CourseAbstractThe induction motor is generally cheaper and more rugged than a dc machine. Thus, ac variable-frequency drives (VFD) have made induction motors the first choice for variable-speedapplications in industry. As a result, ac motor drives are an important topic for introductorypower or motors courses. The newest generation drives offer the ability to program the drives,either with a human interface module or via a link to a computer. One difficulty withincorporating variable-frequency drives into a laboratory portion of the course is the expense.“Name-brand” drives can cost more than $2,000, even for fractional horsepower motors, andsoftware to

Four batteries “left-over” from that system where kept in the school’s alternative andrenewable energy laboratory by the faculty-author of this paper. These batteries are eleven yearsold, but had seen only minimum use over that time. To prevent shelf-life aging these batterieswere lightly discharged and recharged approximately once every six months to help keep themviable. No exact record was kept, but the six months was generally the cycling time frame.Typically, this involved partially discharging the batteries for 4 to 5 minutes using a 6 ohmpower resistor. Then
