Energy market workshops
CHP in industry, commerce and real estate
Private generation was one of the major trends of recent years. In addition to private households, an increasing number of companies in industry and commerce are investing in generating their own electricity. Local generation facilities are becoming increasingly interesting for the real estate industry also. Companies with high heating, steam and cooling loads frequently choose highly efficient power-heat (cooling) cogeneration. But what does the bill look like now the renewable energy surcharge is applied to privately generated electricity? Under which conditions is private generation profitable and how can it be implemented? How can private generation facilities be managed optimally?
Read moreFlexibility in Industry and Commerce
Energy-intensive companies are under immense pressure from competition and costs. This makes energy a decisive production factor. This workshop starts where efficiency measures at the plant level and energy management systems stop. The dynamic, liberalized energy markets offer industry and commerce attractive opportunities. In this workshop we give you the necessary basic knowledge to help you assess and utilize opportunities with confidence.
Read moreDirect Marketing of Renewable Energy
The cyclical amendment of the German Renewable Energy Law (EEG) must be monitored and assessed continuously with regard to its effects and opportunities for marketing. The ProCom workshop on direct marketing gives you an overview over the current regulatory requirements and highlights technical solutions and business models to enable you to market renewable energy efficiently and profitably.
Read moreBasic Obligations to Inform: REMIT & ERRP
The ongoing regulation of the energy sector means the obligations of the relevant companies to inform are growing constantly. Large data volumes in different formats and granularities have to be exchanged securely with different bodies within ever shorter time frames. For the companies affected this means, in addition to considerable added costs, continuous new organizational challenges. That is why the ProCom workshop on basic obligations to inform goes beyond the current and planned basic obligations to look at ways in which companies can gear up to respond flexibly to ever-changing regulatory requirements.
Read moreStorage Evaluation and Management
Management Efficient storage is a key technology to tackle the energy transition. The pressing need for flexibility, brought about by the expansion of renewable energies, has given rise to numerous possible technical solutions. But what about profitability in a real case scenario? How much will the flexibility of a storage facility be worth tomorrow? How can this flexibility be brought to market?
Read moreVirtual Power Plants
Bringing virtual power plants, decentralized power generation systems, storage facilities and consumers together in an intelligent network is groundbreaking. You can generate electricity and heat at low economic and ecological cost – exactly where they are needed. At the same time they can be managed and marketed centrally, offering additional opportunities to generate revenue. The aim of the workshop is to give an overview over the structure and opportunities to implement virtual power plants and to explain the significance of virtual power plants in the energy sector.
Read moreBalancing Energy Markets
With the decline in prices at the classic trading places the balancing energy markets are coming to the fore. Opportunities and risks must be carefully weighed before participating in balancing energy markets. In addition to pre-qualification, there are other numerous organizational and IT challenges to overcome.
Read moreThe Energy Sector for Water Suppliers
There are numerous interfaces between the water and energy sectors. It is at these points that you will often find innovative solutions that enable intelligent management of both resources. The workshop The Energy Sector for Water Suppliers gives specialists and managers in the water industry a systematic overview over the energy sector and highlights these interfaces. Innovative concepts and solutions are presented and discussed.
Read moreCompetitive Factor Forecasts
Forecasts for prices, loads and generation are a significant competitive factor. But it is not only the quality of the forecast that determines success. An increasing amount of forecast data have to be processed promptly and securely at different places in the company. Forecasts are increasingly determining business processes and profitability in a changed energy market. The workshop gives an overview over utilization, benefits and methods of the necessary forecasts in the energy sector for consumption, generation and prices.
Read moreIntraday Trading
The intraday market continues to grow in importance! The reason is the rapid expansion of renewable energies and the growing need for short-term flexibility. Participation in the intraday market offers new opportunities for flexible management of your own portfolio – but it also makes great demands on your organization.
