Discover EcoStruxure DERMS

Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) is becoming a significant disruption to utilities managing distribution grids. EcoStruxure DERMS is a grid-aware solution tailored for the needs of utility, enabling both the efficient operation and planning of the active grids. The solution maximizes the connection of renewables and electric vehicles by leveraging DER flexibility at every level.

Benefits of EcoStruxure DERMS

  • DSO focused

    Designed and built for the Distribution System Operator (DSO) and their business drivers and processes.

  • Improves satisfaction

    Increases quality of power delivery while supporting customer choices around energy. Enables reliable and efficient integration of high levels of renewables and electric vehicles.

  • Defers expenditures

    Postpones capital investments in grid infrastructure. Optimizes grid operations combining network assets and DER flexibility.

  • Enables scalability

    Supports small, proof-of-concept projects to full-scale deployment rollouts.

Features of EcoStruxure DERMS

DER management

Manage Distributed Energy Resources with an overarching interface that directly communicates to single DER units, enables their aggregation, and interfaces 3rd-party-aggregated DERs. Supports all types of generation, energy storage, electric vehicles, microgrids, and demand programs. Keeps track of DER in real time and forecasted output.

DER flexibility

Gain insight into the available DER flexibility, from DER units to the DER group level. Dispatch grouped DER as one virtual resource. Optimized dispatch for both local and large-scale services.

Situational awareness

Gain awareness of DER’s impact on the grid. Get hidden load information with a single click on network view. Detect DER-imposed issues such as reverse power flow, grid edge problems, or generally weak points in the network. Receive an alert for any such issue happening in real time. Discover upcoming constraint violations using Look Ahead functionality for improved near-term operations planning.

Active network management

Apply Active Network Management that overcomes under/overvoltage, thermal overflow, and undesired reverse power flows while maximizing renewable generation output. Combine traditional optimization assets with available DER flexibility for maximized renewable generation and minimized customer disruption. Capture the full potential of DER flexibility by implementing upfront DER dispatch using Look Ahead Constraint Management.

Demand flexibility

Utilize aggregated DER flexibility in a violation-free manner, including real and reactive power flexibility. The optimum dispatch of DER flexibility, from the whole system to a feeder level, implements generation curtailment, load shed, and shift, capacity and energy management, and VAR support.

Hosting capacity

Increase efficiency of processing new customer connections. Assess available hosting capacity in each part of the network with a hosting capacity heat map. Seamlessly execute detailed customer connection check to determine how newly installed DER affects the existing and future grid, considering voltage violations, overloads, reverse flow, and more. Analyze locations that are already facing constraints violations.

Non-wire alternatives

For areas faced with constraints violations and in need of an upgrade, use the Network Planning suite that leverages intelligent forecasting tools and network simulation modules. As a planning engineer, develop future network models proficiently, plan for multiple DER integration scenarios and compare traditional and alternative grid planning options. Ensure the grid is effectively reinforced while flexibility is maximized.

Schneider Electric has been recognized by Guidehouse as the leading DERMS vendor across both strategy and execution categories. Schneider Electric’s leadership position is the result of our end-to-end approach to DER management that breaks the silos of business and technology functions with a comprehensive view of grid data management that is value-based and use-case driven.
