Advanced capabilities, simplified for grid operators

As grids grow more complex and interconnected, GridOS DERMS ensures operators have the tools they need for real-time, modular control. With capabilities designed to adapt to both present and future grid challenges, GridOS DERMS is not just a solution today but a framework for the grid of tomorrow.

GridOS DERMS is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Its modular design ensures the solution can adapt to and scale with the diverse and evolving needs of utilities. The core modules of GridOS DERMS consist of:

Model Manager: Maintains and ingests network and DER asset data, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.
Program Manager: Serves as a single source of truth for program, contract, and enrollment data, while providing robust reporting on program performance and constraints.
Gateway: Acts as a single point of communication for monitoring and control between DERs and aggregators, certified to IEEE 2030.5 standards.
Operations: Offers situational awareness through a unified interface, enabling the visualization of alerts and efficient management of grid operational issues.
Forecasting: Continuously predicts load and generation using an extensive library of models, enhancing grid reliability.
Optimization: Provides optimal scheduling of DERs based on grid constraints, economics, and dynamic operating envelopes.
Markets Orchestration: Supports intelligent decision-making for techno-economic optimization, enhancing market participation.
Flex Planning: Facilitates short-term operational planning and long-term scenario planning, including non-wires alternatives optimization, with study mode capabilities.
