Short trainings were conducted in Greece, Israel, Italy, and Cyprus towards the project’s end, showcasing the nano grid pilots and all the necessary steps from design-to-implementation of a Nano grid-based pilot. The training in Cyprus which explained how a Nano grid system can contribute on the resilience and increased penetration of photovoltaics (PVs), was concluded with an in-depth, hands-on training on the actual system, where participants had the opportunity to be trained on the recently developed Living Lab Nano grid, the first such system in Cyprus and the concept of which may only be found in a few places around the world. During the training the two online tools developed for the effective management of nano grids were also presented.

Similarly in Italy the energy transition of the power systems and the energy transformation of public buildings into buildings with high self-sufficiency was discussed, as well as the technologies and functionalities installed in the BERLIN project and the lessons learnt. The training concluded with a tour at the BERLIN pilot building site and with a closing session on the roadmaps that facilitate the adoption of PV+ESS+DSM in public buildings targeting mainly at local administrators of public institutions.

In Greece, the training focused on the promotion of Photovoltaics+Energy Saving System+ Demand Side Management (PV+ESS+DSM) solution among energy managers and engineers who works in public institutions and can facilitate the adoption of such systems. The short training activity described the steps towards the energy transformation of public buildings into buildings with high self-sufficiency using PV, batteries, and load management and was divided into two sections.

Finally, in Israel the short training covered the current situation Eilat & Eilot regions regarding the electrical grid and the goal towards energy independency, the steps for transforming public buildings into energy independent using three technologies explored throughout BERLIN project, and the challenges in implementation. At the end there was an interesting field tour at the pilot sites.
