Empowering Grid Operators with AutoGrid Flex DERMS
In the rapidly evolving landscape of distributed energy resources (DERs), grid operators face the challenge of managing a diverse array of assets efficiently. This is where AutoGrid Flex DERMS comes in, offering a comprehensive solution to orchestrate and optimize grid-connected assets at scale. By gaining situational awareness and control, grid operators can accelerate electrification, enhance grid modernization, and provide customers with expanded choices.
The Power of AutoGrid Flex DERMS
AutoGrid Flex DERMS leverages AI technology to seamlessly integrate and mobilize front-of-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) energy assets, regardless of customer class, device type, or use case. This unified platform enables grid operators to unify multiple DER programs and portfolios under a single pane of glass, allowing for custom grouping of DERs by any attribute. With the ability to co-optimize DER scheduling across tariff, network, and wholesale value streams, forecast flexible capacity in advance, and integrate with utility IT and OT systems, AutoGrid Flex DERMS provides a robust solution for managing distributed energy assets.
