Competence Center for Energy Management Training

This document is a report detailing the establishment of the Competence Center for Energy Storage and Energy System Management by the Potsdam Chamber of Crafts. Launched in 2022, the center aims to provide practical qualifications for tradespeople in the field of sustainable, decentralized energy systems. The report outlines the center's infrastructure, which includes a Microgrid Energy Management System (EMS) based on zenon software from SCADA-Automation. The EMS integrates various energy producers and consumers within a virtual power plant, ensuring efficient energy management and visualization of energy flows. The document describes the technical components involved, including photovoltaic plants, a wind turbine, and a large battery storage system. It emphasizes the importance of training specialists who can manage these systems effectively. The report also highlights the flexibility of the zenon software in accommodating diverse energy technologies and protocols, which is crucial for the success of the energy revolution and the training programs offered at the center.
