With the growing demand to ramp up usage of distributed energy resources in utilities’ power portfolios and the complexity involved in managing distributed energy resources (DERs), the need for interoperability between systems and devices is more important than ever. Attendees of this panel discussion will hear new innovations in operational technologies and how utilities are leveraging renewable energy resources and storage to manage DERs in the network. Panelists will discuss their DERs projects, benefits observed and lessons learned, and innovations in ADMS and DER Management to integrate these assets into their operations.
