Competence Center for Energy Management Training

This guide presents the initiatives undertaken by the Potsdam Chamber of Crafts to address the growing demand for specialists in sustainable, decentralized energy systems. The Competence Center for Energy Storage and Energy System Management, launched in 2022, aims to provide practical qualifications for tradespeople in the implementation of renewable energy solutions. The center features a Microgrid Energy Management System (EMS) based on zenon software, which integrates various energy producers and consumers into a cohesive system. The EMS facilitates real-time monitoring and control of energy flows, utilizing a large battery storage system and multiple renewable energy sources, including photovoltaic plants and wind turbines. The document outlines the collaboration with SCADA-Automation and WEMAG, emphasizing the importance of flexible and adaptable energy management solutions. It also details the educational benefits provided by the live training environment, enabling students to engage with complex energy management processes and prepare for future challenges in energy supply.
