Many in the utility industry struggle with the challenges introduced by the explosion of distributed energy resources — or DERs — and their impact on our power grids and energy markets. Not only are they growing exponentially, but they also are changing the resource mix at wholesale levels — a transformation that will accelerate even more along with evolving market rules; for example, FERCs Order 2222 in the U.S., which opens wholesale markets to new sources of distributed energy and the grid services enabled by these assets.

  • What is the answer when it comes to striking a balance between the many benefits of DERs and the disruption that comes with them?

  • How can we effectively control distributed energy assets while ensuring the grid reliability on which we all depend?

·         How does better DER management help increase the amount of DERs on a feeder, which can lead to more granular voltage management?

This new paper from Wood Mackenzie and Generac Grid Services explores the role of distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) and their ability to smooth the DER transformation. It clears up many of the misconceptions about DERMS, clarifies their capabilities and discusses their mission critical role in helping utilities prepare for the future while also delivering strong operational value today.
