Distributed energy resource management systems, or DERMS, are the next wave of grid tech. Across the country, electric utilities — large and small — are piloting or deploying DERMS software to manage, monitor, and control DERs on the grid. This topic explores how utilities are assessing and implementing DERMS, while confronting the challenges and opportunities ahead using case studies and technical analysis.
