The DER Management and Communication Platform helps utilities register, monitor, organize, and schedule the dispatch of customer distributed energy resources (DERs) including energy storage and solar PV via a cloud-native server running the IEEE 2030.5 standard protocol.

Gain visibility and management of your customer DERs

• User-friendly, web-based interface facilitates rapid user onboarding
• Identify the asset type, location, status, and associated consumption levels or storage availability

• Define customized DER groupings which can have independent business rules

Understand DER load profiles

• Gain access to critical data about the power profiles of customer DERs on your system to help manage and shape the power grid.

Expand hosting capacity and customer benefits

• Use collected data to inform a comprehensive model of the distribution system that can enable the future development of customer-centric programs.

Secure and consolidate customer DERs

• Rely on one central command center to manage geographically dispersed DERs via a cloud environment with robust cybersecurity protocols.
• Leverage the elegance of the IEEE 2030.5 standard protocol which was purpose-built as a future-proof multipurpose Internet of Things (IoT) communication protocol
• Securely communicate in the cloud with thousands of DERs via robust encryption provided through an IP-based TLS1.2 standard with certificates and access control
• Secure data between the client and server as well as access to the user interface

Prepare for future expansion

• Access basic DER management functionality now that can be deployed quickly and widely to assist in immediate scheduling and dispatch of customer assets.
• Leverage data over time to determine key areas that would benefit from additional layers of autonomous control.
