Radical Resilience: Building an Adaptive Energy Grid with DERMS and VPP
Go beyond outage response to forecasting and prevention
In today’s decentralized energy landscape, resilience has never been more important – or challenging – for utilities. With grid stability threats ranging from extreme weather to cyber attacks, utility operations and supply-side teams need to go beyond outage response to forecasting and prevention. Resilience itself is being redefined with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions that transform distributed energy resources (DERs) from decentralized complexity into essential assets, as well as enabling grid services and ancillary market participation. Utility and energy professionals need to keep up with these changes to develop and scale grid management strategies in response to today’s decentralized, volatile energy landscape. Join industry veteran and visionary Bryan Olnick and DERs expert Sadia Raveendran for a conversation on the new radical resilience achievable with today’s cutting-edge DERMS and virtual power plant (VPP) platforms. They’ll share case studies from utilities and energy retailers achieving unprecedented outcomes. And they’ll offer actionable insights to keep the power flowing for critical infrastructure and support customer satisfaction in our always-on environment. You’ll learn:- How VPPs serve as a cleaner, more cost-effective alternative to peaker plants that delivers dispatch-grade MWs using customer-sided load, generation, and storage resources.
- How digital grid management can enable more efficient adoption of distributed energy resources that benefit grid operators and prosumers alike.
- How to harness EVs and other distributed energy resources at scale to extend your DER network.
