Energy transmission and distribution

Energy transmission and distribution is a critical area of energy technology that deals with the development, operation and maintenance of power grids. Sales staff in this sector must have a solid technical understanding in order to effectively sell complex products and systems. This includes a deep knowledge of high-voltage lines, transformers and smart grids.

Salespeople in energy transmission and distribution should be able to convey profound technical expertise on high-voltage lines, transformers and the principles of energy transmission. They must develop tailored solutions that meet customers' specific needs and clearly and convincingly communicate the benefits of the technologies. A thorough understanding of smart grid technologies is also required to explain their efficiency and flexibility in energy distribution.
 

Storage technologies

In the energy transition, storage technologies play a central role. The development and marketing of energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries, pumped storage power plants and supercapacitors, require sales staff with comprehensive technical knowledge. These professionals must not only understand how the technologies work but also be able to communicate the specific requirements and benefits for different applications.

Sales professionals should be able to clearly explain the benefits of these systems for stabilising the power grid and supporting renewable energy sources. This includes understanding charge and discharge cycles, efficiency, storage lifespan and their role in the overall energy economy. They must also be able to address the individual needs of their customers and offer tailored solutions.

Grid stabilisation and control

Ensuring grid stability is one of the biggest challenges in energy technology. Sales staff working in this field need to be knowledgeable about various techniques and technologies for ensuring stable power supply. These include frequency and voltage control, as well as the use of control power plants and load management systems.

These sales professionals should have a deep understanding of the physical principles of grid stability and be able to educate customers on how their solutions for frequency and voltage control contribute to the efficiency and reliability of the power grid. They must also communicate the importance of flexibility and responsiveness in the energy industry, particularly with regard to the integration of renewable energy sources.
