As distributed energy resources (DERs) proliferate across the grid, utilities need advanced tools to manage their growing complexity. Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) give utilities the visibility, control, and intelligence needed to integrate and optimize DERs across both transmission and distribution systems. This topic explores how DERMS supports real-time grid operations, enhances forecasting and load flexibility, and enables grid services from customer and community energy assets. Sessions will highlight DERMS architectures, utility implementation strategies, case studies and technical analysis.

Surviving summer with demand-side solutions | Factor This Policycast
This episode of the Factor This Policycast, presented in partnership with Advanced Energy United, explores demand-side solutions that could help satisfy elevated summer electricity consumption. SPAN's Richard Caperton and Sarah Steinberg of Advanced Energy United talk about the tools available to keep the lights on and bills manageable, and how utilities can use them to get more out of our existing grid without investing in costly, time-consuming infrastructure upgrades.
