Power grid flexibility – our hybrid future
Learn how the need for power grid flexibility is rapidly evolving and explore the solutions for a hybrid future.
Introducing Grid to Prosumer
As the complexity of grid management increases, utilities must address challenges holistically. Grid modernization requires managing supply and demand at the grid edge, spanning both sides of the customer meter. Our Grid to Prosumer approach is the industry’s broadest, end-to-end integrated solution for DER management.
Utilities with a Grid to Prosumer approach address grid modernization holistically by optimizing DER across energy market needs, grid constraint requirements, and prosumer priorities. The result: advancing digital transformation, coordinated DER management and eliminating the silos of business and technology.
Explore the pillars of DER management
Integrated DER management
By combining the three pillars of DER management – grid optimization, flexibility services and prosumer engagement – utilities are equipped to maximize grid flexibility in the new energy landscape.
Optimizing with DERMS
Utility system operators enable stable, reliable, optimal, and secure operations. The next evolution of this complex task is to meet operational challenges caused by increasing the integration of DER - and transform these challenges into benefits through the optimal use of DER.
Maximizing grid flexibility
Grid flexibility services integrate, aggregate and optimize DER to accommodate prosumer priorities, utility distribution grid needs, and meet emerging electricity market demands.
Address the variable nature of distributed renewables, the difficult-to-model or predict prosumer EV driving and charging patterns, changing weather, evolving prosumer energy use patterns, and more.
Increasing prosumer engagement
Electric utilities must integrate and coordinate demand-side management programs, such as energy efficiency and demand response, for greater prosumer engagement.
Integrating demand side management (DSM) programs with flexibility services and grid optimization offers prosumers the greatest opportunity to maximize the value of their DER while meeting requirements for reliability, affordability, and sustainability.
