The rapid growth of distributed energy resources (DERs) is changing how utilities plan, operate and manage the grid. As power flows become more dynamic and data volumes increase, utilities need greater visibility, integration and control to maintain a reliable, resilient and secure energy network.
A Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) can help utilities meet these evolving demands. However, successful DERMS deployment requires more than selecting the right technology. It depends on a strong data foundation, integration across utility systems and a roadmap that can adapt as business priorities, regulations and grid requirements evolve.
Preparing for successful DERMS deployment
This viewpoint examines the strategic considerations that can help utilities advance grid modernization and realize greater value from their DERMS investments.
Readers will learn how to:
- Build a robust network data model across utility-owned and non-utility-owned assets
- Integrate DERMS with critical information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems
- Develop a flexible roadmap that supports both near-term and long-term priorities
- Assess the expertise and capabilities to look for in a strategic partner
