Energy management: sector coupling and dynamic rates
The transition of the building sector to a more sustainable electricity and heating supply is one of the greatest challenges. For small and medium-sized enterprises, this means a massive increase in complexity alongside their core business: photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, e-mobility, and energy storage must not only be installed but also intelligently networked. Furthermore, dynamic electricity rates have been legally mandatory since January 2025—those who manage their energy consumption flexibly can leverage this new market situation to achieve significant cost savings. However, those who miss the connection to sector coupling risk rising operating costs and inefficient isolated solutions.
The key to success lies in data-driven simulation and predictive control. We will introduce you to the open-source planning tool “EQuiP,” which allows you to precisely evaluate energy networks and load shifting in existing buildings and neighborhoods. Learn how to use AI to forecast consumption and production and create the technical prerequisites for modern, cross-sector energy management.
-
- Comprehensive networking expertise: you will understand the opportunities presented by sector coupling and learn how the intelligent integration of electricity and heat flows maximizes energy efficiency across a building network.
- Practical planning reliability: you will gain direct access to the planning tool and learn how to independently evaluate expansion scenarios—from energy networking to targeted equipment replacement.
- Optimization through dynamization: you will learn how to benefit from flexible electricity prices and dynamic rates by identifying savings potential through intelligent load shifting within your company.
- Future-proof infrastructure: we will teach you the technical fundamentals for the smart meter rollout and the implementation of predictive energy management systems (EMS) based on open standards.
