Due to advances in technology, the DER landscape is evolving rapidly in terms of price, performance, and resulting adoption. Improvements in performance, coupled with a de-crease in price, have led to growth in the DER market. Since 2007, the U.S. has experienced nonlinear growth in solar installations, while global energy storage installations have risen steadily since 2015 and are projected to increase exponentially in the decade ahead.

When considering DER management solutions, there are five core principles to follow for success, including automation and flexibility, which are key requirements for utilities designing grid operation solutions for the future. These principles focus on the solution architecture, customer choice, security, the grid’s future state, and automation.
