Dear Colleagues and Friends, IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society Santa Clara Valley Chapter Meeting Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 (No meeting today Tuesday 10/27) Dinner: 5:30 – 6:45 p.m. Socialize with your colleagues and tonight’s speakers at: El Torito Mexican Restaurant, 2950 Lakeside Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054 (408-727-4426) -- just two blocks north of the meeting site. No RSVP required. Program: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. No admission charge. Open to the public. Topic: Solar Energy - Let the sun shine in Solar energy represents both the cleanest energy available and a never-ending supply of energy, as long as we have access to the sun. The complexities lie in harnessing this energy and effectively utilizing it. We will explore the discrete components of a solar power plant - the solar cell, the collector, the transformation to AC power and to the distribution to the power grid. We will explore this system and it’s components from a risk and mitigation perspective and how the respective standards support this approach. Speaker: Sudhakar Waznik Sudhakar Wasnik has been a solar energy enthusiast since working, first hand, at a solar power plant. He has also served as a compliance engineer, having extensive experience in product safety, EMI/EMC, ESD and reliability engineering. Mr. Wasnik’s experience includes a broad range of industries including consumer electronics, medical devices, industrial products and solar energy systems. He has also demonstrated his skill in the practical application of the standards covering this wide range industries. Mr. Wasnik has an MS EE from George Washington University and a B. Tech in Electronics and Communications from NITK, India.
