Smart grid enables distributed energy management
Emerging smart meters, rooftop PVs, electric vehicles, energy storages, and demand response appliances are adding more intelligence at the distribution grid edge and bringing new opportunities for end-use customers to withstand weather disruptions. . We design and deploy smart grids and distribute energy resources (DER) solutions. These solutions adapt and enhance modern power and energy systems. In this blog, we will walk you through how DER integrates with smart grids. Distributed energy resources (DERs) are proliferating on power systems, offering utilities new means of supporting objectives related to distribution. . One of the digital elements in smart grids is an efficient, high-performance communication network that enables data exchange between distributed devices (Intelligent Electronic Devices, IEDs) and between them and central systems (software and applications). DOE is helping policymakers. .
