Utilities are leveraging DERMS to monitor, coordinate, and optimize a growing mix of distributed energy resources—improving grid flexibility, reliability, and customer participation.

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.
