March / 2020CENERO is a co-developer of a software suite for smart energy ecosystems

With the abolishment of the EEG levy from 2020, which has so far guaranteed secure remuneration, new marketing models are coming to the fore for many site and plant operators. As an energy strategist, CENERO Energy GmbH invests particularly in the development of scalable and cross-sector solutions in the field of renewable energies.

Since February 2020, CENERO has been one of five Leipzig partners in the sees - smart energy ecosystem suite project. The aim is to develop a software suite that combines AI tools and smart services to manage the grid operation of decentralised and cross-sector generation plants more efficiently. In an open ecosystem, the app will optimise and automate processes and enable more flexible energy marketing, among other things. Ultimately, it is about a holistic energy management system that supports utilities in decision-making for optimal implementation planning.

CENERO is a hands-on partner and provides the test ecosystem for the project with the Baumwollspinnerei site. Furthermore, information and experiences from the developed district supply flow into the software suite. Knowledge, use cases and demonstrations help with the development and testing of the application. In the Spinnerei, for example, CENERO is testing how to operate the MicroGrid with different energy generation sources (CHP, Renewable Energy Sources Act - and conventional plants) and has set up the first flexibility models such as a tenant electricity and monitoring app. At the same time, CENERO is constantly developing the ecosystem and increasingly integrating renewable energies.
