Tips and decision-making aids for choosing an apprenticeship

Smart energy refers to intelligent technologies in the field of sustainable energy and energy management. Such holistic energy solutions encompass all of the following areas and thus cover the entire value chain of the energy industry:

  • Energy conversion
  • Energy storage
  • Energy transfer
  • Consumption control

The advantages of smart energy lie in the optimization of energy consumption, cost savings through innovative energy solutions and integrated, future-proof and expandable energy technologies such as solar, battery storage, heat pumps, e-mobility, smartphone control, etc. The technology is often installed in a smart city - but is also being used more and more frequently elsewhere.

 

A smart energy course will teach you more about energy efficiency with renewable energies. You will then know how efficient energy management works with smart metering, data management, mini-grids and sector coupling. Important tools include smart lighting, smart metering, feedback and efficiency and sufficiency measures.
After the course, participants will understand energy strategies, technologies and use cases for smart energy applications and their challenges in implementing the energy transition. Illustrations are provided through excursions and VR models.

 

With the knowledge you have acquired, you can act as a pioneer of the energy transition and fully commit yourself to the implementation of smart energy. Because one thing is already clear today: sustainable energy has a future!
