E D I T O R ‘ S N O T E

As we come ever so closer

to the year 2020, there have

been nigh countless

changes and noteworthy

highs and lows for the industries that

run the world. Truly, there is nothing

permanent in the world but change,

especially with the surge

of ground-breaking technology

and automations, palm-sized smart

gadgets that give you a ton of

features and capabilities, and app

and software with internet access.

Once a thing only conceptualized in

works of science-fiction, technology

in any form is what more than half of

the world’s populace are dependent

on. This is most expressly true for the

renewables industry.

Today, renewable energy is

garnering more popularity not just

as an alternative source of energy

in lieu of fossil fuels, but also as the

choice that is more preferred due to

it being cost-effective and

environmentally friendly.

The world-changing trends that have

been projected to be true come 2020

are as follows:

The first category talks about

enabling trends i.e. how the

utilization of renewable energy is

made affordable and the energy

distribution more accessible to

residential and commercial energy

consumers.

The second category revolves

around demand trends i.e. the

consumption patterns and the

motivations of users of this energy.

Lastly, we have technology

application trends—how the spread

of renewable energy technology is

plotting electricity usage and is in

turn affecting how the generation

and distribution of renewable energy

might evolve to.

Enabling Trends

1. Achieving Price & Performance Parity

Truly, renewable energy generation

technologies continue to transcend

the expectations of their inventors. In

response to this, specialists foresee

4

2020 Renewable Energy Forecast

grid parity will be achieved by

countries such as China, Australia,

and the USA 6 years from now.

2. Advancements in Energy Storage

With the improved utilization and

adoption of commercial batteries,

energy will be able to be

meritoriously employed with lesser

incidents of intermittent outages—

ensuring smooth electric supply to

homes and commercial businesses,

especially those far away from the

electric grid.

3. Decentralization of Energy

Distribution

The usage of blockchain in various

energy markets will help allow more

financing prospects for renewable

energy projects. By expanding

the pool of investors to tinier units,

project developers would be able to

crowd source a fraction of a project’s

financing, allowing them to fasten the

rest of the funds from venture capital

investors or financial institutions.

4. The Accelerated Rise of Wind Power

While a number of renewable energy

sources are becoming more

well-organized towards reaching grid

parity, wind power is perhaps the

fastest growing and most successful

green energy source.

5. The Rise of Smart Renewable Cities

Since the goal of any city is

economic growth, advocating

sustainability, and maintaining a high

quality of life, these cities require

stable and abundant energy that is

very accessible and reliable.

6. Big Businesses Committing

to Renewable Energy

Tech and communications giants

such as Facebook are also vowing to

reach 100% renewable energy.

7. Increasing Adoption of

Electric Vehicles

While the adoption of electric

vehicles are more prevalent in

various households, cities all over

the world are slowly transitioning

towards electric public

transportation, as well.

8. Artificial Intelligence & Electricity

With AI’s machine learning

competencies, renewable energy

sources like wind farms can enhance

their operations, resulting in much

more efficient handling of financial

resources and electricity generation.

Having said that, the renewable

energy industry’s future appears

bright for both the current and the

next generations of the world. These

will undoubtedly inspire everyone

partaking in such initiatives and

endeavors.

FEATURE STORY

Every Chef and Restaurant Owners in PH

should have this Induction Cooker

Food is an integral part of Philippine

culture but not everyone can cook. It is,

however, something we all should learn. We

may never be the next Gordon Ramsay or

Jaime Oliver, but we should strive to do more than

pop a few leftovers in the microwave, cook rice, or

fry a couple of eggs. While it is understandable

that cooking is neither a walk in the park nor an

inviting skill to learn, since it is very technical

and mathematical at its core, an induction

cooker makes this important life skill safer,

easier, and more fun.

Usage of induction cookers is slowly on the rise,

trailing and catching up to the two most common,

widely used tools for cooking: gas cookers and

electric cookers. These two have cemented

themselves in our food-loving Filipino culture

and have distinct advantages over the other. While

gas cookers boast even heating across a person’s

cookware, electric cookers are easier to clean. The

reason why induction cookers have come neck and

neck to these two giants is because of the lack of

overall difficulty in using it. An induction cooker

takes the beautiful things about its gas and electric

counterparts—even heating and ease of cleaning—

and peppers it with even more advantages.

While induction cookers are the up and coming

front-runners in the field of cooking, the TOSOT

Induction Cooker stands above the rest in terms

of number of advancements. It has a simple, slim,

elegant design and a long list of features that keep

its expert and novice users and their families in

mind, making it revolutionary for meal-making

and a surefire way to kick off the road to cooking

proficiency.

You may not cook as well as Gordon Ramsay or

Jamie Oliver even with the TOSOT Induction

---

Cooker, but you definitely will feel like an expert

with these five amazing features:

1. It has a beautiful digital display and touch

control panel

From smartphones to tablets, touchscreen has been

the current technological trend so far. Now you can

cook with pride, knowing full well that even your

induction cooker has a sleek display, user interface,

and is smooth to the touch, giving you access to a

wide variety of options.

2. It’s resistant to boiling and overheating

Using magnetic currents to directly heat pots and

pans instead of igniting a fire on the cooktop or

turning on the electric stove, the TOSOT

Induction Cooker is an overall more efficient tool

to use in the kitchen. You can even crank it up and

place your skin against it and nothing will happen.

But while your skin won’t burn, the pots and pans

will be extremely hot.

Other induction cookers aren’t so lucky with

extremely hot pots and pans. It is unfortunate to

see the induction cooker break by the very thing

it superheated. Luckily, the TOSOT Induction

Cooker is much more resistant, allowing you

to cook to your heart’s content.

3. It keeps kids from hurting themselves

If you want to teach your kids how to cook, then

sadly, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is not the right

tool for the job. With its safety features and child

lock design, this state of the art induction cooker

cannot be tinkered by children. It may not be fun

for the kids, but it is definitely fun for you while

you cook with confidence knowing that your kids

can’t break it or, unlike with other types of cookers,

burn the house down.

4. It has presets, so you can live your chef

dreams

Soup, double stewed soup, porridge, chaffy dish,

barbecue, and stir-fry. These six cooking presets

allow you to be the experimental chef you have

always wanted to be. You can make an entire

Christmas feast using only the innovative TOSOT

Induction Cooker.

5. You get freebies!

Who doesn’t like freebies? When you purchase a

TOSOT Induction Cooker, you also get a free

stainless steel cooking pot and non-stick frying pan

for all your cooking needs. The cooking pot and

frying pan is resistant to heat, giving you that

added layer of safety and certainty when cooking.

This is especially helpful for new restaurant owners.

While there are many more useful features, the

TOSOT Induction Cooker is perfect for novice and

expert chefs, restaurant owners, and home cooks.

This induction cooker is a must have, and kitting

your kitchen with this beauty is will just kick your

culinary adventure into high gear.

As we close in on the year 2020, many individuals in the renewables

industry are conducting research and nigh endlessly studying about

how they can improve their efficiency, work ethic, output, and overall

morale. That having been said, here are their findings and gradually

growing trends that are prospected to be realized next year.

Today, renewable energy is garnering more popularity not just as

an alternative source of energy in lieu of fossil fuels, but also as the

choice that is more preferred due to it being cost-effective and

environmentally friendly.

Having said this, here are top 8 renewable energy technologies and

15

C O V E R S T O R Y

trends leading our outlook on this industry.

These trends are divided into three categories:

The first category talks about enabling trends i.e. how the utilization

of renewable energy is made affordable and the energy distribution

more accessible to residential and commercial energy consumers.

The second category revolves around demand trends i.e. the

consumption patterns and the motivations of users of this energy.

Lastly, we have technology application trends—how the spread of

renewable energy technology is plotting electricity usage and is in

turn affecting how the generation and distribution of renewable

energy might evolve to.

Enabling Trends

1. Achieving Price & Performance Parity

In the United States of America, major renewable sources such

as wind energy are now able to generate power at a cost and

performance level that is equal to or even less than electricity

generated by fossil fuels.

Truly, renewable energy generation technologies continue to

transcend the expectations of their inventors. In response to this,

specialists foresee grid parity will be achieved by countries such as

China, Australia, and the USA 6 years from now.

2. Advancements in Energy Storage

Energy storage has long since been seen as a factor that determined if

alternative energy production could be a viable power source for both

commercial and residential facilities.

Progression into battery technology has also been paying surpluses to

corporations that have incorporated their deployment in large scale

operations.

With the improved utilization and adoption of commercial batteries,

energy will be able to be meritoriously employed with lesser incidents

of intermittent outages—ensuring smooth electric supply to homes

and commercial businesses, especially those far away from the electric

grid.

3. Decentralization of Energy Distribution

Blockchain, a decentralization technology that

archives and conducts transactions via an

encrypted peer-to-peer network is currently being

adapted for use in the energy markets.

This decentralization aims to empower consumers

to buy and sell electricity with other consumers,

potentially eliminating away the middlemen such

as suppliers.

In addition, the usage of blockchain in various

energy markets will help allow more financing

prospects for renewable energy projects. By

expanding the pool of investors to tinier units,

project developers would be able to crowd source

a fraction of a project’s financing, allowing them

to fasten the rest of the funds from venture capital

investors or financial institutions.

4. The Accelerated Rise of Wind Power

While a number of renewable energy sources are

becoming more well-organized towards reaching

grid parity, wind power is perhaps the fastest

growing and most successful green energy source.

Demand Trends

5. The Rise of Smart Renewable Cities

It’s no secret that smarter technologies are on the

rise as well. With this, renewable energy is

becoming cheaper, more accessible, storage is

becoming more feasible, and green energy is

becoming a part of the normalcy of urban life.

Since the goal of any city is economic growth,

advocating sustainability, and maintaining a high

quality of life, these cities require stable and

abundant energy that is very accessible and reliable.

6. Big Businesses Committing

to Renewable Energy

One of the major renewable energy trends that have

stayed and will continue to stay strong this year and

the next is the pledge of big companies to adopt

and utilize renewable energy sources to power their

business operations.

Tech and communications giants such as Facebook

are also vowing to reach 100% renewable energy.

30

Technology Application

7. Increasing Adoption of Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly

more mainstream with an 81% increase in electric

vehicle sales in the United States alone, heralding

a possible hockey-stick growth for their future

demand. These electric vehicles are more costefficient,

consume no fossil fuels, and run on green,

renewable energy.

While the adoption of electric vehicles are more

prevalent in various households, cities all over the

world are slowly transitioning towards electric

public transportation, as well.

8. Artificial Intelligence & Electricity

Using artificial intelligence (AI) is a sure-fire way

to have assistance in any job you do. With them,

electricity markets can become more effectual and

deliver energy independence, most especially when

integrated into the energy grid.

With AI’s machine learning competencies,

renewable energy sources like wind farms can

enhance their operations, resulting in much more

efficient handling of financial resources and

electricity generation.

As artificial intelligence becomes more cohesive

with the procedures and output of generating

electricity, this will benefit more renewable energy

sources such as hydropower and geothermal power

reach price parity much, much quicker.

With these trends, it’s no surprise that the

companies, organizations, cities, and

governments all around the globe are becoming

more streamlined with one energy goal in mind—

the utilization of renewable energy in all its major

forms.

That having been said, scientists in the industry

are also continuously researching new sources of

renewable energy to further fuel the world and its

endeavors.

While demand and technological innovation are

vital engines of renewable energy trends, electricity

retailers on the supply side also have a part to play

to positively influence the transition towards green

energy technologies.

and AR experiences.

“5G is a fundamental tool that will benefit cities,

countries, factories and refineries because 5G is the

cornerstone for industry and key for the future of

digital.

“To make the most of what 5G can offer, it is all

about collaboration and innovation. This will not

happen by just sitting down in the office. We have

to connect our minds together and have to

experiment. We can do anything if we have the

will,” said Mr Alshamsi.

EMPOWERING TODAY’S ENTREPRENEURS

TO SOLVE TOMORROW’S PROBLEMS

As well as bringing together key figures from the

energy sector, World Energy Congress also

supports and inspires the leaders, innovators and

thinkers of tomorrow.

The session ‘Start-up Energy Transition: The power

of the bold’ saw a panel of experts, among them the

winners of this year’s Start up Energy Transition

Award, debate, discuss and predict the most

pressing energy challenges the world will face in

years to come.

Marwan Bin Haidar, Executive Vice President of

Innovation & The Future, Dubai Electricity and

Water Authority (DEWA), joined the delegates to

consider the new business models, technologies

46

---

and ideas that will be at the forefront of the

industry’s ongoing transition.

Mr Bin Haidar explained that all companies must

“innovate or stagnate” and that incorporating brave

and bold new ideas developed by start-ups is key to

a successful future for established firms.

“The company receives new, bold ideas and

solutions while the start-ups can benefit from years

of experience and understanding of the industry,”

said Mr Bin Haidar. “In this way, everyone benefits.”

Andreas Kulmann, Chief Executive of the

German energy company Deutsche Energie-

Agentur, echoed Mr Bin Haidar’s comments

adding that for start-ups “being bold is one thing,

but being smart is another”.

“Discovering what is important for all partners and

what is important for the market can be difficult,

but if start-ups are smart, bold and very well prepared

to grow and develop collaboration, they and

their partners will flourish,” he said.

FINDING SOLUTIONS THROUGH

CREATIVITY, PASSION AND VISION

At the session ‘Pitch perfect: Best of the Start-up

Energy Transition (SET)’ Michele Fiorentino, Chief

Investment Officer, ADNOC, joined a panel of

judges to consider the ideas set out by SET finalists

to discover the next global game-changing idea or

invention for the energy sector.

An interactive, energetic and highly engaging

event, the SET finalists were challenged to outline

the benefits of their idea, its practical uses and why

investors should get behind them as part of a

professional pitch.

Start Up Energy Transition (SET) is a global

innovation platform supporting disruption in

energy transition. Selected from a total of 450

applications from 80 countries, 10 startup

finalists pitched their innovative ideas to

stakeholders, investors and members of the business

community.

Included in the final 10 were Germany-based zero

emissions company ONO, and home renewables

business DC Power Company Limited from

Australia.

“Improving urban mobility while facilitating

faster delivery of goods is ONO’s aim,” said

Veronica Louis, ONO’s Chief Communications

Officer. “Our Pedal Assisted Transporter (PAT)

improves access in crowded cities and boroughs

while also reducing emissions, pollution and

congestion.”

Emma Jenkins, Co-Founder and CFO at DC Power

Company Limited, explained how the company

places households with solar panels at the centre of

Ten Innovativev Solutions of Social Incubator

Program in Abu Dhabi Rewarded AED 4.4 Million

Investment to Support People of Determination

Ma’an announced today the ten winning teams in

the first cycle of the Ma’an Social Incubator

program.

Ma’an is part of the ‘Ghadan 21’ accelerated

development programme designed to spur

diversity and growth in Abu Dhabi’s economy to

make it one of the best places in the world to do

business, invest, live, work and visit.

The winning projects include a mobile app that

helps convert text to sign language and another that

helps people with visual impairments to navigate

their surroundings through sensors and visual

recognition. Among the winners of this year’s

edition, six teams were local, while four teams

were international.

The event this morning announcing the ten

winning projects was attended by His Excellency

Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohamed Al Hamed,

Chairman of Department of Health; His

Excellency Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili,

Chairman of the Department of Community

Development; His Excellency Abdullah Abdulali

Al Humaidan, Secretary General of Zayed Higher

Organization for People of Determination; His

Excellency Hamad Al Dhaheri, Director General of

the Social Support Authority; and Her Excellency

Salama Al Amimi, Director General, Authority of

Social Contribution - Ma’an.

The Ma’an Social Incubator program is the first of

its kind in the region, with each of the ten teams

eligible to receive funding up to AED 200,000

released at every successful milestone the

participant reaches, as well as support for living

and housing expenses for non-residents of Abu

Dhabi.

The program aims to support and develop

innovative social concepts and start-up projects so

they may become social institutions or civil

facilities with an active role in helping people of

determination in facing challenges in their

communities, offering them solutions that improve

their quality of life and achieve their ambitions.

The Ma’an Social Incubator program also provides

the necessary and specialized support needed

60

---

for these projects to be sustainable, offering the

guidance and tools needed for growth, including

financial and moral support, as well as office space,

business expertise and access to possible investors.

Since launching the program in May earlier this

year, 130 ventures applied for the Ma’an Social

Incubator program from as far afield as Brazil,

Denmark, France, Nigeria and India.

Later in August, a shortlist of 25 nominated teams

were invited to pitch their solutions before a panel

who came together to decide on the final ten

winning teams.

The teams will have the opportunity to test their

social start-up ideas and gain an in-depth

understanding of the market, in addition to

attending a series of plenary workshops and

receiving mentor advice that will help them

develop their idea into a product or service, beginning

in September and continuing for 16 weeks.

Ma’an was established in February 2019 by the

Department of Community Development in Abu

Dhabi with the aim of bringing together the

government, the private sector and civil society to

support a culture of social contribution and

participation. The authority will deliver solutions

for social challenges with four main pillars of work

– a Social Investment Fund, a Social Incubator

Program, Community Engagement Programs and

the introduction of a new type of public

contracting, Social Impact Bonds.

Ma’an seeks to reinforce the culture of giving in

Abu Dhabi, and establish the volunteering needs

of the community, aiming to make us of the

currently available social volunteering

opportunities and initiatives, as well as

contribute by generating new opportunities.

Her Excellency Ms. Salama Al Ameemi, Director

General of Ma’an said: “We are absolutely

delighted with the incredibly innovative ten

solutions that have been awarded a place in the

Ma’an Social Incubator program, and are now fully

focused on helping the entrepreneurs to make their

dream become a reality.

“These social start-ups will contribute towards

establishing sustainable social solutions for

people of determination and raising their standard

of living in Abu Dhabi and the UAE in general,

with an ambition for global impact in the future.

This is a hugely important phase in our first

incubator program, and we are very much looking

forward to working with the committed and

passionate people leading each of the start-ups,

making their concepts and projects a reality.”

The program offers unique and valuable

networking opportunities for the teams to

build relationships with individuals outside of the

program, including investors, third sector leaders,

industry figures, and decision makers in specialized

fields regionally and internationally. Ma’an will also

host ‘demo days’ to present the concepts of the ten

winning team organised for review and evaluation,

as well as to leverage funding from investors.

The 10 successful start-ups are:

1. Accessible Ad: Platform for information,

expertise, training and support to ensure effective

accessibility for People of Determination in Abu

Dhabi

12V Waterproof

Actuator

One of the distinctive advantages of the

waterproof linear actuators is

undoubtedly their simple design

increases the resistance of the product to

disadvantageous factors.

Waterproof electric linear actuators of

Progressive Automations manufacturer can be

used for the various types of sea works. This

can be a shipbuilding industry where this

technology may come in handy for the

construction of automated boat hatches that of

military submarines where they can be

responsible for the pressure control which is

essential for the submarines’ operability. There

are three basic types of water protection:

• IP54 – provides protection against water

splashes penetration from all sides;

• IP65 – prevents the penetration of water flows

inside the case at any possible angle;

• IP67 – with such protection the device is

capable to function when fully submerged

under the water.

Electric linear actuators are the

mechanisms, the core task of which is

the transfer of force from the control

device to the executive one. Linear

actuators vary in the way they transfer their

energy. At the same time, the object controlled

can be driven by a rotational or linear motion

action.

One of the distinctive advantages of the

waterproof linear actuators is undoubtedly

their simple design. Due to this, actuators

have an impressively long-lasting life service,

in addition, they do not require regular

maintenance and are unpretentious to the

conditions. Simple execution allows using

devices even in unfavorable climatic

conditions. Depending on the manufacturer,

models may have additional protection that

For example, PA-06 linear actuator model of

Progressive Automations has the IP67 water

protection meaning that this device is really

capable to function even when fully submerged

into the water and even when being at a

significant depth. The minimum technical

specifications of such waterproof electric linear

actuator are the following: stroke – 2 inches,

force – 22 Ibs, speed – 1.38 inches/sec,

whereas the maximum technical specifications

are like this: stroke – 24 inches, force – 180 Ibs,

speed – 0.47 inches/sec.

Customers can choose technical specifications

so that they could adjust their waterproof

linear actuators according to the needs of

performance wanted. The PA-06 electric linear

actuator of Progressive Automations is capable

of working under the harshest conditions and

withstand water, and other potentially unwanted

liquids, however for short periods of time.

This high-rated quality makes this kind of

electric linear actuators to be the most popular

choice for marine engineering. Such actuators

68

---

are capable to work within -20 to +60 °C

temperature window. The warranty covering

this electric actuator lasts for 18 months since

the purchase. This linear actuator is mounted

with the help of BRK-06 mounting brackets that

make the installation process extremely easy.

Furthermore, this kind of electric actuators is

compatible with a whole range of control

systems and control boxes transforming the

operation process into a pleasure. Control

boxes allow installing electric linear actuators

of high water protection merely everywhere if

dimensions are suitable for their installation.

Actuators of Progressive Automations all-thetime

provide the most effective performance

while at the same time they are always

reliable. These actuators can easily undergo

the most terrific weather conditions and prove

themselves to be the best solution where other

alike technologies feel themselves

uncomfortable and present poor performance.

During long-lasting periods of work under

heavy workloads such actuators of Progressive

Automations show the highest resistance

towards harsh environment conditions. Such

type of electric linear actuators can be easily

adjusted for various types of work more or less

associated with serious humidity and marine

implementation. Preferring the waterproof

actuators of Progressive Automations

customers make their investment into the

qualitative and long-lasting technology that

will fully justify their expectations.

Is Your Cyber Prevention

Plan Up To Date?

Cyber defences need

continuous

development. Even the

latest cyber

protection strategies will have

limited lifespans, and cyberprotection

obsolescence is a

common issue when it comes

to protecting a business.

The latest updates to your

malware and password

protection systems will not

remain effective if they are not

regularly checked to make sure

that they remain up to date, and

able to tackle the latest

cybercrime trends. With new

threats emerging regularly,

keeping one step ahead of

cybercriminals means ensuring

that your cyber defenses are as

up to date as possible, and that

means being aware of the latest

72

threats and how to protect your

business from them.

Team Awareness

The weakest point of any defence

strategy is always going to be

people. That’s why you need to

ensure that you develop a strong

culture of security within your

business. Enforcing a solid and

robust security process is vital if

you want to keep your

customers, staff, and business

safe. Make sure that your team is

aware of:

• Your defense architecture

• Security protocols

• Basic security standards

Keep these measures updated,

and you will be better able to

protect yourself from threat.

Updated Software and Hardware

Hackers are always looking for

an exploitable weakness that

they can make use of. That’s why

you need to keep your software

and hardware updated as much

as possible. Those updates are

generally designed to deal with

specific new threats, so failing to

update means that you are

exposed to unnecessary risk.

Endpoint management is being

used by more companies than

ever, as it allows for faster

recognition of threats from a

zero-day standpoint.

Cost-effective and automated

endpoint management using

recognized tools like McAfee can

go a long way to keeping your

business safer.

---

Protecting Code

Open source code is fast

becoming a necessity. This is

because demands on developers

are too fast for software

development to keep up with.

Unfortunately, open-source code

comes with a variety of

challenges in terms of both

security and compliance. If your

business makes use of open

source code, then you need to

make certain that you have the

available resources and

manpower needed to review that

code for bugs, licensing issues,

and security risks. Failing to do

so means exposing yourself to the

potential harm caused by

allowing malicious actors into

your software.

Network Monitoring

All of the data that your company

processes needs to be stringently

monitored at all times. It is only

through regular monitoring that

you will be able to identify the

procedures and patterns of safe

behavior. This monitoring can be

automated with a Security

Information and Event

management system, but the

human element of this

monitoring should not be

overlooked. Privilege

management in terms of access to

data is a key element of network

monitoring, so segmentation of

those privileges is not just an

option to consider but a vital

necessity in the digital age.

There are just as many ways to

protect a business as there are

to cause it harm. This means

ensuring that your security

processes are as tight as possible

and get ongoing evaluations.

When hackers take advantage of

both technological and human

weaknesses to gain access to the

inner workings of a business, the

consequences can be devastating.

FEATURE STORY

Food for Thought: These Foods Will Keep You

More Focused and Alert at Work

The average workday doesn’t just start at 8 and end at 5. It starts long

before that with waking up, getting ready, getting out the door,

commuting and then it ends in reverse. Staying sharp and focused

can be a real struggle for many people, especially engineers. In this

article, we’ll show you how to keep your edge all day long no matter

what profession you’re in.

Start the Day off Right

This does not mean the sugar-laden coffee drinks or the donut cart

at the office. It means high protein and nutrient-loaded. Even if you

have to grab-and-go something, make it something real and not

processed. Eggs, even hard-boiled, are a fast, portable way to get

charged without an eventual crash. Pre-packaged portions of cheese

are great, too! Keep them in the fridge and grab a few before you

head out. Keep some bottled water in there to avoid that detour to the

coffee joint. Your brain will thank you later!

76

---

Mid-Morning Munchies

They’re a real thing, aren’t they? Control the urge to reach for yet

another cup of coffee and the box of Danish in the breakroom. Keep

some nuts or trail mix or some power bars and re-fuel! This is a good

time to indulge in some healthy fats like avocados or cheese as well!

Lunch is Not Dinner

Whether or not your job requires you to be a desk jockey or a real

jockey, lunch isn’t an all-you-can-eat at the trough event. Work

potlucks and birthday celebrations can be fun, but they are often

heavy on conveniences like chips and dip and greasy,

carbohydrate-laden casseroles. Not to mention every kind of

cookie and that overly frosted birthday cake. Just remind yourself

that getting seconds (or thirds) will leave you hibernating under your

desk before you know it!

Bring your own food, opting for proteins like chicken, tuna, or even

last night’s leftover grilled salmon. Cooking at home using appliances

like an electric grill helps to curb the bad fats in your meal and they

also taste pretty great too!

If you can, sneak away and take a walk outside. Regardless of the

weather, a brisk walk to get some fresh air in your lungs can power

you through the day!

The Dreaded Slump

Here you are at 3 PM with two hours to go and everything on your

desk reads like a foreign language. Resist the temptation to spike your

blood sugar with candy bars and soda and take this

opportunity to breathe deeply, stretch, take a quick

stroll if you can. If that doesn’t perk you up, grab

the kinds of snacks that will keep you alert

without the inevitable crash of processed foods and

beverages. Cubes of cheese and salami, celery or

apples with peanut butter, raw carrots or other veggies,

or a handful of berries will keep the Munchie

Monster away until your great escape at workday’s

end.

However, if you must treat yourself, a small

microwave bag of popcorn will do in a pinch. So

will a few squares of dark chocolate (70 to 85%

cocoa). In fact, studies prove that not only does

high-quality dark chocolate do wonders for your

brain, but dark chocolate has been proven to

improve memory and cognitive skills. It’s a

win-win, not only for your focus but your attitude –

which your coworkers will appreciate!

80

To Sum Up

Regardless of your career ‘lifestyle’, it’s important

to be mindful of what you are eating and drinking

throughout the workday. Whether you sit at a desk

or behind the wheel, work can be stressful.

Coworkers can be stressful. But fueling your body

with the right foods can keep you performing like

the Rockstar your boss thinks you are!

Solar Module Yield Measurement

In a comparative measurement, the yield of more than 130 module

types is measured on PHOTON‘s outdoor test field

Peter Braatz / photon-pictures.com

Facts

• Detection of each module‘s yield (second-by-second) using

sophisticated measurement devices

• Evaluation of the module‘s yield independent of other system

components

• Performance measurement under real outdoor conditions for a

period of 12 months

• Standardization of the monthly and annual yield to the STC power

measured at PHOTON Lab

• Collection of the solar irradiation and weather data for in-depth

analysis

Check the monthly test results in:

• PHOTON Profi (German)

• PHOTON – Das Solarstrom-Magazin (German)

• PHOTON – Le Magazine du Photovoltaïque (French)
