Trends

Increasing environmental pressure on traditional energy Growth in the number of generating plants based on renewable energy

Energetics

The main difference between alternative energy and traditional energy is the uneven generation of alternative energy and decentralization of energy generation points. Energy production from unconventional sources depends on the time of day, weather conditions and other factors. To comply with the global energy balance, it is necessary to quickly commission the balancing generation capacities. One of the factors that determine how much balancing energy needs to be introduced is the forecast of weather and climatic factors: sun, wind strength and direction, temperature, etc. At the same time, installations for generating alternative energy are not absolutely environmentally friendly. They can have a certain negative impact: an increased level of noise, vibration, damage to agriculture, etc. The locations of installations for generating alternative energy are of fundamental importance, since wind rose and blackout have a significant impact on the efficiency of installations.

The novelty of the profession: solving new problems: determining the need for balancing energy capacities due to weather changes, observing an ecological balance when placing generating power plants.

Key competencies:

Calculating the amount of generated energy based on the weather forecast
Calculating the energy balance of the region; identification of excess / lack of energy
Preparation of a conclusion on the safety of a generating installation for the environment and its effectiveness in a given location

Over-professional skills

Environmental thinking is focused on achieving harmony between business and the environment. A business cycle is already developing from creation to disposal of a product, and not just its sale and consumption. Environmental thinking puts health and sustainable development at the top of the list.

The importance of environmental thinking is increasing due to the fact that industrial development has reached the limit and all further models of sustainable growth of society, the economy and business should be built on the basis of mutual interests with nature, the ecosystem, its maintenance and development.

Specialists with environmental thinking skills will be able to solve such problems as: respect for resources, achieving zero emission of harmful substances into the environment, waste management and use of secondary resources

Environmental thinking

The ability of a specialist to combine (summarize) particular facts into a big picture, build hierarchical levels for understanding various situations (economic, political, business) and making long-term decisions. An important quality is the understanding of how a change in one element will subsequently affect other elements.

The importance of systemic thinking is increasing due to the acceleration of changes in life, the need to learn new professions, as well as the growing interpenetration of various areas in each other (social networks, economics, politics, production, etc.).

Specialists with systemic thinking skills will be able to solve such problems, make strong long-term decisions in the context of rapid changes in the economy, diagnose large technical and social systems, make decisions on eliminating the root causes that hinder development, and this skill will allow for the integration of various project teams into a single working organism.

Systemic thinking

Project and process management includes the ability to focus on the project goals, the ability to competently plan and organize team actions for the effective implementation of tasks, the ability to assess existing risks and opportunities for all parties to the interaction. A specialist who has this skill knows how to properly organize the work on the project within the specified funding framework, and is able to correctly distribute the work in order to meet the deadlines set by the project. such a specialist is constantly learning something new, is not afraid to make mistakes, is able to generate new effective ways to solve problems and tasks. the demand for specialists with knowledge and tools in the field of project management will increase, as project activities are considered by companies as the most important factor in their effective development
