A comprehensive 2014 Talent Demand Study shows that many of the region’s technical and high-wage jobs are being filled by highly-educated workers moving in from out-of-state. The study also identified key gaps in the region’s education system (high school through higher education) that need to be filled in order for local students to be prepared for careers in the highest demand occupations. c.

hardware that communicates directly with the user and or the utility. Uncontrolled charging is merely the act of people plugging in their EVs at any time that is convenient to them and the charging of the battery taking place regardless of grid considerations such as price or stability. Due to the size of the load posed by charging EVs, the demand profile of a region with EVs could drastically change as EVs are integrated [19]. To aid this transition, achieve more stable operation, and reduce the cost of power used to charge EVs, controlled charging is proposed. Uncontrolled charging of many EVs on a large scale would make for difficult load forecasting and cause challenges for power quality and equipment lifespan. B. Power Quality EVs charge by
