DERMS Implementation
As the grid of the future takes shape, utilities are turning to distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) to meet the pressing challenge of effectively integrating and utilizing distributed energy resources (DERs). The fluctuating nature of renewable energy sources and the complexity of managing a diverse array of DERs underscore the need for strategic implementation of high-performant DERMS solutions.
DERMS deliver the capabilities utilities need to manage DERs in real time, enabling continuous communication, control, and data flows across solar panels, batteries, and other behind-the-meter devices. Forward-looking utilities are leveraging DERMS software to achieve a truly optimized power grid, improved efficiency and resilience, and enhanced ability to respond to power emergencies.
