Educational program and competency profile "Distributed Energy Systems and Optimization Modeling Engineer"
The rapid growth of the BRICS economies necessitates the prompt and project implementation to define a strategy for the distributed energy systems development. This involves selecting the optimal strategy to upgrade energy assets and energy consumption control, considering the technical and economic conditions of specific regions. Successful implementation of this kind of project requires qualified specialists with expertise in both energy and IT. The specified task encounters the following problems: 1. Shortage in engineers. There is a shortage of professionals who can develop optimal strategies for distributed energy systems. This role requires a combination of energy systems knowledge and programming skills to solve optimization modeling problems and execute all phases of the project. 2. No structured knowledge profile No widely known universal competency profile containing the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to educate a specialist who can find the optimal strategy of distributed energy systems development. 3. Insufficient updating of educational programs Educational institutions offer only part of the knowledge and skills required to address the mentioned tasks. Furthermore, it is uncommon for energy specialists to gain IT-related expertise, and for IT professionals to develop energy sector skills. 4. Companies are facing rising costs related to building and maintaining their talent pool. Due to gaps in education, tech companies frequently have to provide extra training for new hires. Solution: Educational standard for distributed energy and optimization modeling specialists who can find energy system’s development strategy using IT technologies. The standard will be based on the existing competency profile "Distributed Energy Systems and Optimization Modeling Engineer". The competency profile should include: 1. Adaptation to local conditions Adapt the profile for each BRICS country considering the specificities of national energy systems, equipment, and electricity markets. Material will be conducted in local languages 2. Seamless integration between energy and IT specialists: It is proposed to create educational trajectories that allow specialists in energy and IT fields to transition to opposite areas, taking into account the business needs of partner companies. 3. Practical orientation The trajectory will involve modeling real commercial projects implemented in Russia and the EU. This will provide students with a better understanding of business processes and accelerate their adaptation in the workplace. 4. Modularity A flexible structure of educational material will allow for the creation of individualized educational trajectories that meet the needs of both companies and students.
