2GreenEnergy Intern Pursues Interest in Integrating Renewable Energy Into the Grid

I thought I’d publish this conversation I’m having with one of our 2GreenEnergy interns, as it gives me an opportunity to remind readers about Homer Energy.

It all began when I first published the intern’s article on energy trends in Brazil and wrote back:

Craig:  Do you mind telling me a little bit more about exactly what you’re studying?  I would certainly give a great deal to be in your shoes once again.

Intern:  I’m so glad and excited with your publication. I have been studying renewable energy in different features, such as production, distribution, commercialization, conversion, impacts, how to optimize energy systems and others. I’m free to learn more about it or any other application of energy.

Craig: Well, is there a subject within all this that interests you particularly?

Intern: The area of study that interests me is the optimization of energetic systems which I plan to pursue as my profession after graduation. Essentially, my intention focuses on how to set up an energy system by applying renewable sources of energy, aiming to replace fossil fuel combustion as the prime energy sources.

Craig: That’s wonderful.  Based on what you wrote here, you should check out Homer Energy and its CEO, Dr. Peter Lilienthal (pictured), whom I proudly list as one of my “Associates.”

Don’t let that toothy grin fool you.  The dude is amazing.  As I wrote on his behalf:

Dr. Peter Lilienthal is arguably the world’s foremost expert in hybrid power optimization, and stands ready to help 2GreenEnergy clients who wish to design and implement such systems. The software that he and his team created – initially at NREL — has been used by over 36,000 energy practitioners in 193 countries.

Dr. Lilienthal was the Senior Economist with the International Programs Office at NREL from 1990 – 2007. He has a Ph.D. in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford University, and has been active in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency since 1978. His work has included designing and teaching courses at the university level, project development of independent power projects, and consulting to industry regulators.
