DER Solutions for Cooperatives
Imagine a DER control solution that is scalable, modular, and flexible that can meet you where you are in a cost-effective approach. Luckily, you don't have to any longer.
DER growth has skyrocketed.
Yet conventional energy systems are becoming more outdated and overloaded by the day. So, what's next for cooperatives?
DERMS for Cooperatives
Cooperative utilities tend to have longer radial lines in rural areas where increased loading and DER penetration can create unique challenges.
Luckily, there's a solution: DERMs. DERMs, or Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems, offer the solution to help municipalities visualize, optimize, and control DERs. Instead of large infrastructure upgrades to meet these challenges, Strata Grid DERMS can offer a Non-Wires Alternative (NWA) to optimize and control DERs during times of system constraint. Strata Grid can also be integrated to other systems like the EMS of the G&T to offer better coordination between transmission and distribution.
So, what is a DERMS and how can you utilize one? Find out in our newest whitepaper by simply downloading your FREE copy today!
