Introduction to Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS)
AspenTech offers the AspenTech OSI Distributed Energy Resource Management System™, a robust solution suite designed to model, monitor, forecast, schedule, and control renewables and distributed energy resources. This innovative system provides utilities with the tools needed to orchestrate distributed energy resource utilization while ensuring reliable grid operations and economic optimization. By adopting a system of systems approach, AspenTech's DERMS enables comprehensive enterprise-wide optimization of all DER grid-edge aggregators within a single system.
Real-time Orchestration and DER Interconnection
One of the key features of the AspenTech OSI Distributed Energy Resource Management System™ is its real-time orchestration capabilities. Utilities can leverage the network model and power flow to update DER groups dynamically, allowing for surgical scheduling and dispatch. Additionally, this system facilitates easy DER integration with industry standard communication protocols including SCADA, OpenADR, IEEE 2030.5, and more. By streamlining the process of DER interconnection, AspenTech's DERMS empowers utilities to adapt quickly to changing grid conditions and optimize resource utilization.
Enabling New Business Models and Grid Operations Optimization
With the AspenTech OSI Distributed Energy Resource Management System™, utilities can unlock new business models and capabilities such as virtual power plants, microgrids, and market participation to meet economic objectives. This system is designed to optimize grid operations by providing real-time enterprise DERMS functionality. The rapid adoption of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) has introduced complexities to the grid, making it essential for utilities to have the tools to monitor and intelligently control DERs. AspenTech's Digital Grid Management offers the industry's most sophisticated enterprise DERMS, ensuring utilities can manage DERs effectively.
