AI can lay out options, timelines and checklists to react to. Fitting it to your people, budget and situation is your call.
Part of Develop systems or practices to mitigate or resolve environmental problems, under the O*NET work activity group Thinking Creatively. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (1 AI-ready, 7 AI-assist, 0 stays human).
Tasks built on this activity
- Characterize component or fuel cell performances by generating operating maps, defining operating conditions, identifying design refinements, or executing durability assessments.
- Design or coordinate design of photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal systems, including system components, for residential and commercial buildings.
- Manage fuel cell battery hybrid system architecture, including sizing of components, such as fuel cells, energy storage units, or electric drives.
- Apply nanotechnology to improve the performance or reduce the environmental impact of energy products, such as fuel cells or solar cells.
- Research or develop emerging microelectromechanical (MEMS) systems to convert nontraditional energy sources into power, such as ambient energy harvesters that convert environmental vibrations into usable energy.
- Design fuel cell systems, subsystems, stacks, assemblies, or components, such as electric traction motors or power electronics.
- Develop systems that produce electricity with renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, or biofuels.
- Design or develop vacuum tube collector systems for solar applications.
