Bavarian Battery Congress 2026

The current transformation process, particularly in the automotive industry, requires far-reaching adjustments to value creation networks and the qualifications of current and future employees in the Bavarian battery ecosystem.

As a “battery competence trio,” the B³ Battery Education Network Bavaria (B3) is making a substantial contribution by providing tailor-made qualification concepts for industry, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and their employees throughout Bavaria.

The control of modern energy systems is complex. Systems with many generators, consumers and storage units (e.g. CHP units, large heat pumps, power-to-heat, electrolysers, heat and battery storage) require forward-looking, data-based decisions.

VK Energie offers a unique solution for optimizing complex energy systems. It uses AI, precise forecasting and digital twins to take into account relevant factors such as prices, costs and system conditions. Energy systems are controlled in such a way that they run optimally in technical, economic and ecological terms. Multi-market optimization enables additional revenue through flexible marketing.

VK Energie also has the right solution for battery storage systems. We support municipal utilities and system operators with the optimal operating strategy: from grid usage fee optimization and self-consumption maximization to multi-market optimization.

Operators benefit from smooth, transparent and economically optimized system operation. The systems are seamlessly integrated and proactively monitored 24/7 by our experienced team of engineers.

We also support the planning, construction and expansion of energy systems with simulations, profitability analyses and concepts for integrating renewable energies.
