The DER functionalities specified in some grid codes (e.g. IEEE 1547 & Rule 21), and the associated communication interfaces are not suitable for direct integration with monitoring and control systems (e.g., DERMS). These functionalities were designed only to expose the raw, inherent capabilities of the DER, but (intentionally) omit additional logic, management features, and security requirements because these were believed to vary by utility and region.
The Automated Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) represents a groundbreaking advancement in grid management. By integrating demand response (DR) optimization into the DERMS engine’s objective function, the Automated DERMS enables efficient management of registered behind-the-meter (BTM) assets. These assets are pivotal in enhancing grid reliability, resiliency, and affordability.
The concept of synchro-waveforms has recently emerged as a promising frontier in power system monitoring and data-driven applications. By providing access to raw waveform samples, synchro-waveforms can capture not only the typical major disturbances but also the seemingly minor, yet sometimes highly informative, disturbances in voltage and current that are missed by other time-synchronized measurements, such as synchrophasors.
