Energy Management System: International Good Practices and Standards

The training programme on Energy Management System:

International Good Practices and Standards took place in

the newly opened Training Demonstration Center at

CeProSARD premises. The training programme introduced

the participants to current developments in modern

energy management systems. The significance of the

topic as well as the process of achieving energy goals and

requirements that are accepted internationally, require a

common global approach and an appropriate action plan.

This is defined within the newly published international

standard ISO 50001: Energy Management System. The

training programme was organized in collaboration with

the experienced consulting team - Trajkovski & Partners

Consulting.

CeProSARD Demonstration Training

Center

Our existing building located at Orce

Nikolov Str., No. 172 in Skopje, has

recently been reconstructed in

accordance with the latest energy

efficiency standards in order to

improve the thermal performance of

these premises and to establish a

training room for 30 persons. Solarpanels, photovoltaic panels, small

demo wind turbine and photovoltaic

system connected to LED reflectors are

set in the training center. Other

demonstrative equipment is also

procured. The overall equipment in

the training center demonstrates the

possibilities of using practices on

renewable energy sources and energy

efficiency. After the reconstruction has

been finished, the building has

significantly better energy efficiency

and training participants have the

opportunity to directly observe the

technologies used and the way they

function.

December 2012

Along with representatives of the business sector, experts and consulting firms working in the field of

renewable energy and energy efficiency, CeProSARD initiated the formation of a green energy cluster

for the first time in Macedonia.Clustering (cluster association) is an excellent opportunity tocoordinate planned activities of all smaller companies or organizations whose resources are limited.

The green energy cluster provides greater competitiveness to its members and this type of association is

supported by the European Union at the same time.Dear readers and contributors, now we are offeringyou to register in the existing database of entities working in the field of RES and EE. I hope you will

join us in the future to realize the initiative for green energy cluster formation. Send your registration

CeProSARD within the AgroEnergy project installed the first water pumping windmill in

Macedonia. The windmill is placed in the area of Mustafino village, Municipality of Sveti Nikole.

The windmill procurement is co-financed within the AgroEnergy project and owned by Suzana

Dimitrievska. The water pumping starts at low wind speed (2-3 m/sec), while at higher speeds

the windmill has a secure locking mechanism that stops the windmill operation. The windmill is

12 m high and has a water pumping capacity up to 50.000 liters per day, at optimum wind

speed. Utilizing the wind as renewable energy source will reduce the fuel use for irrigation

needs, and there are also great benefits from both economic and environmental aspect.

On the occasion of the Tree planting day in

Macedonia, CeProSARD team has joined the action

on environment forestation and beautification. This

because, despite taking care of the environment we

actually enjoyed socializing outside of the office in
