Congratulations Derek O'Connor and Fang Luo, PhD, on leading a successful first cohort in the new HVDC training lab at Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center (AERTC). This collaboration will provide enhanced training capabilities for the next generation offshore wind workforce. We look forward to seeing the next cohort on Friday, September 20. #StonyBrookEcoDev #OffshoreWindtrainingInstitute #OffshoreWindTraining #WorkforceDevelopment
The AERTC held its first cohort session of the Offshore Wind Training Institute in the new HVDC training lab last week. Sponsored by the Offshore Wind Training Institute and jointly led by Dr. Fang Luo, Director of the Spellman High Voltage Power Electronics Lab, and Derek O'Connor, Workforce Development Manager at Stony Brook University Economic Development , the cohort brought together 20 students from Suffolk County Community College interested in the growing offshore wind field. The lab is fully equipped with three state-of-the-art power electronics and electrical power training stations that provide hands-on experiments and?education. The next cohort session will be held this Friday, September 20, in the AERTC building. #StonyBrookAERTC #OffshoreWindTraining #OffshoreWind #HVDC #HVDCTraining
