DERMS provides the ability to harness that flexibility when and where it’s needed. The DERMS technology provides greater visibility into DER behavior and the ability to control DER intelligently. Greater situational awareness allows for more proactive management to keep the grid safe, secure and resilient, while helping utilities provide clean, reliable and affordable energy to their customers.

The collaboration among Microsoft, PG&E, and Schneider Electric to develop and launch a DERMS strategy symbolizes the power of a unified team with diverse talents and expertise working collaboratively to achieve a new utility-industry standard for integrating DER at scale. The collaboration builds on Schneider Electric’s 30-year co-innovation relationship with Microsoft to deliver solutions integrating Microsoft Azure, an open cloud computing platform with the tools, scale and security to address the demands of critical energy infrastructure and in the future. Schneider Electric’s DERMS strategy offers a variety of capabilities, and together with Microsoft and PG&E, the companies have identified several foundation use cases for the new system, including: Real-time visibility into all DER.
Enhanced situational awareness of grid impacts, both in real-time and with forecasted lookahead, plus instant alerts for improved operations planning. System capacity for peak summer days. Visualized DER capacity, timely impact analysis, customer feedback (measurement and verification), and additional DER capacity.
Local capacity for new service connections and interconnections. Oversight of interconnection requests enables utilities to leverage actionable data to faster evaluate and process DER connection requests and streamline processes that ensure resilience. Reliability and resilience with energy storage.
Utility-owned & aggregator-provided storage asset dispatch for improving local reliability and network deferral (non-wire alternatives). Transportation electrification. Integration, managed charging and vehicle-to-grid coordination for residential vehicles and commercial fleets.
They are continuing to build and enhance the platform to address additional use cases over the next several years.
