Just got a personal property city tax of $1100. Maybe I should go back to old, beat-up cars.

rdb posted:That's for your AMG merc, right? Is that 6 months or a year? And did it qualify for the tax relief bit? Thankfully it's for all my vehicles aside from the boat (which also came but it's in both our names) and it's for the full year. There's discounts involved? I didn't look at it too intently just yet.

Solar chat: I just took a class on PV theory and applications this semester. The tech coming out is super cool and Silicon-based solar cell manufacturing costs are making them very competitive with coal economically, unsubsidised, in the near future. Also check out quantum-dot infused perovskite lattices. They let visible wavelength light pass through and concentrate 90% of infra-red to the edges, making it awesome for being a window that transfers light we would rather not havd come in and directs it to its edges, where you put tuned-wavelength PV cells to use the infra-red as an energy source. Imagine using those as windows in a skyscraper.

Man so do I, as we then wouldn't have an issue with power quality and stabilizing the AC waveform for the interconnection with all these renewables loving it up. Then again, it's a fun problem to solve.

Like smart inverters and battery backup systems are cool tech and it'd be cool to have a fully malleable slack bus on every generation bus, but there's a bunch of issues with cybersecurity at that point with your 20 MW solar farms suddenly deciding to put a 1 Hz signal out into a balanced system.

I mean this is what you get when a loving piddly substation catches fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7y-oJYpDkM Imagine what happens when a bunch of generation catches some cloud cover suddenly and drops voltage out all at once.

CommieGIR posted:You'd hope their filtering would catch that, but I fully expect it will happen. Currently they don't have any electrical "inertia" to effectively filter. It's like trying to keep an engine running at a certain RPM but you run out of gas. They're running generation and it's balanced by the load and slack buses by very careful and super smart people and algorithms. Nuclear and coal and nat gas are super duper stable since you plan to keep them running constantly so it's relatively easy to just tell a power plant "hey we need X Megawatts at Y time" but with renewables none of that works like that at all. You get around this by having an energy storage system that the renewables are feeding. Less output, but when the death cloud comes you can keep the generation "filtered" by supplying battery power as makeup so you can shuffle some conventional generation on with the 15 minutes you bought yourself.

Get into DCS / SCADA poo poo. There's so much automation occurring in industry. Manufacturing is coming back to America, but the jobs are all logic programming and robit programming and automation. Repeat after me: Controls Engineer.

Also don't let the PID process and time domain / S domain / LaPlace transforms / diffeq scare you. That poo poo's all done with computers now and it's just filling in boxes at this point. The big money is in being able to get a control system to talk to another control system and networking them together for a manufacturing / power plant, and setting up all the I/O and poo poo. There's also quite a bit on the cybersecurity side if you're a giant nerd.

The best thing is nobody at a manufacturing plant understands any of this poo poo. If you're already a manufacturing engineer, you know their side of it well enough to not sound like a moron. If you also know networking/automation/programming you then become a wizard that spits magic through a keyboard and Makes poo poo Just loving Work.

Also how much I like a systems engineer is inversely proportional to the amount of times they use the word "holistic" when talking to me. We had a vendor come in last week that used it 18 times (I counted) in a four hour meeting, and I wanted to strangle them.

BraveUlysses posted:Ehh I'm just not really interested in manufacturing any more, I think I'm just burned out from not being challenged in this job for so long I mean okay, but if you're looking to get into techy stuff, manufacturing is headed that way and the barrier to entry into the field for tech automation in an industrial setting is much lower than in pure tech where you'll run into 8 billion Tusen Takks that live in a software bubble wholly disconnected from manufacturing/industry. By that I mean you'll be effective and helpful with actual issues much much sooner and have much less competition.
