· High availability- redundancy and sys admin work is needed
· Eim- buying and selling the diff between what is scheduled and what is used.
· Scada is used in other utilities like gas and water also- everything is engineered
· Solutions are different and geared differently- don’t write our own software, but we integrate.
· We expect people to not have a lot of exp that is directly relatable
· 10-15 years exp in SCADA, likely not the same as theirs.
· No exp in power controls and utilities and then we look for do they understand integration and electrical engineering and the electronic principles of what we are doing?
· They are behind the modeling side and how you set the computer system up. Focus on SCADA training to start managing what you do with that power you are bringing in and getting rid of and how you are balancing all of that.
