Grid-to-Prosumer DERMS
Schneider Electric Ranked a Leader in Guidehouse 2024 DERMS Leaderboard
Adapt to the Complexities of a Decentralized Grid
With the rapid growth of distributed energy resources (DERs), grid operators must not only manage generation and distribution but also energy storage and a complex mix of electricity loads. Effective DER planning and simulation require real-time data from more assets than ever, and limited visibility into asset-level availability and capacity makes seamless DER integration a challenge. Additionally, congestion management issues amplified by DERs can cause grid instability, overvoltage, and reverse power flows.
To protect grid reliability and realize the full potential of DERs, utilities and grid operators need an end-to-end platform that unifies DER management across every piece of the energy value chain, from grid optimization and market orchestration to flexibility management and prosumer engagement.
