2026 Event Schedule

: As industry advances toward standardization in DERMS Flexible Service Connection (FSC) use-case planning and execution —through adoption of open protocols (e.g., IEEE 2030.5) and standardized local control systems (e.g., UL 3141)—there is an emerging need to align FSC analysis methodologies to ensure consistent customer experience across utilities.

This analysis acts as a critical first step, helping customers assess whether their site is suitable for FSC and make informed participation decisions.

Drawing on our ongoing work with major utilities in their DERMS planning and implementation journeys, this presentation aims to establish a standardized approach to FSC analysis prior to customer enrollment.

Key discussion topics include:

• FSC as both a bridging and permanent solution
• Value proposition for customers and utilities
• Load and generation case studies
• Deep dive into analysis methodology: historical vs. forward-looking approaches
• Data requirements for accurate modeling and decision-making
• Lessons learned from analysis standpoint
• Considerations for scaling FSC programs
