Empowering Grid Efficiency and Economics
In today's rapidly evolving energy landscape, the integration and management of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) pose significant challenges for utilities. To address these complexities, AspenTech offers the OSI Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS), a robust solution suite designed to model, monitor, forecast, schedule, and control renewables and distributed energy resources effectively. By leveraging a System of Systems Approach, AspenTech's DERMS enables utilities to optimize DER grid-edge aggregators comprehensively within a single system, facilitating enterprise-wide optimization. Real-time orchestration capabilities allow the dynamic updating of DER groups based on network models and power flow, enabling precise scheduling and dispatching. Moreover, the DER Interconnection feature streamlines DER integration through industry-standard communication protocols like SCADA, OpenADR, and IEEE 2030.5, ensuring seamless connectivity. AspenTech's DERMS also supports the evolution of new business models by enabling capabilities such as virtual power plants, microgrids, and market participation, aligning with economic objectives while enhancing operational efficiency.
