N-ERGIE relies on ENERTRAG: Partnership for the use of the power system for technical operations management and 24/7 monitoring
Dauerthal/Nuremberg, 13 November 2024 | N-ERGIE, a regional energy supplier from Nuremberg, is optimizing the technical operations management of its entire renewable energy portfolio by using the innovative Powersystem software solution from ENERTRAG. Following a successful test phase, the two companies have now signed a contract for long-term cooperation, including the use of ENERTRAG Betrieb's 24/7 control room.
Through this cooperation, N-ERGIE is securing state-of-the-art solutions for technical operations management and monitoring, which will significantly increase the efficiency and sustainability of the operating portfolio. ENERTRAG Betrieb's 24/7 control room also enables continuous monitoring, allowing faults to be detected and rectified at an early stage. This makes a significant contribution to maintaining the availability and performance of the systems at a high level.
ENERTRAG's power system was specially developed for the optimized operation and networking of renewable energy systems. It plays a central role in operational management by enabling precise billing, ensuring minute-by-minute remote control and monitoring compliance with licensing requirements. As there was no suitable solution on the market in 1999, ENERTRAG decided to develop the software itself. Since then, the system has been continuously adapted and further developed to meet new legal framework conditions and technological requirements. The goal of creating lean and transparent processes was achieved through a high degree of automation, among other things. Today, a team of 50 IT specialists is working on adapting the power system to the latest market requirements and legal specifications and continuously optimizing it.
"With N-ERGIE, we have an experienced partner at our side who understands the requirements of the market very well. The cooperation with their wide-ranging portfolio of renewable energies will also drive the further development of the power system, which will benefit all our customers. Together with N-ERGIE, we are actively shaping the energy transition - we are very much looking forward to a successful partnership!" explains Dr. Felix Bübl, Head of Powersystem Development at ENERTRAG.
"Various operational management systems were put to the test in a selection process. The Powersystem best met the requirements. The product impresses with its user-friendliness and adaptability to our individual needs. The reporting functions were particularly convincing. In future, N-ERGIE will receive all information on its wind farms via one system. We are hoping for better failure predictions and efficient fault management for our plants. It should also be possible to compare the wind farms with each other in order to identify plant-specific faults more quickly. Furthermore, the automation of the reporting system will lead to process improvements in our company. We are looking forward to working together with ENERTRAG and developing the system further," summarizes Markus Roth, Project Manager Renewable Energies at N-ENERGIE.
