Optimizing Distributed Energy Resource Management
As the energy landscape evolves rapidly with a growing focus on renewable energy sources, utilities face the challenge of managing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) efficiently. AspenTech OSI Distributed Energy Resource Management System™ offers a robust solution suite to model, monitor, forecast, schedule, and control renewables and distributed energy resources. This system provides comprehensive enterprise-wide optimization by aggregating all DER grid-edge resources into a single system, enabling utilities to orchestrate the utilization of these resources effectively. Leveraging real-time orchestration, the system uses network models and power flows to dynamically update DER groups for precise scheduling and dispatch.
Facilitating DER Interconnection and New Business Models
One of the key strengths of the AspenTech OSI DERMS is its seamless integration with industry-standard communication protocols such as SCADA, OpenADR, and IEEE 2030.5. This makes it easy for utilities to interconnect DERs and unlock new business models. By enabling capabilities like virtual power plants, microgrids, and market participation, the system empowers utilities to align their operations with economic objectives and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
Real-Time Optimization for Grid Operations
The rapid adoption of DERs has introduced complexities that demand sophisticated management solutions. AspenTech Digital Grid Management offers the industry's most advanced enterprise DERMS, enabling utilities to monitor and intelligently control DERs in real-time. By providing greater visibility, control, and optimization capabilities, this system allows utilities to optimize grid operations efficiently, ensuring reliable and stable grid performance even amidst the growing presence of distributed resources.
