Level Up Distribution System Planning & Operations
Level Up Distribution System Planning & Operations
Rapid electrification of buildings, vehicles, data centers, and industrial processes is presenting new challenges for distribution systems. Grid planners and operators need better data and tools to safely and efficiently integrate new loads, distributed generation, and storage resources at the grid edge.
Uplight’s AI-powered Edge Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) helps utilities forecast, monitor, and control both front-of-meter and behind-the-meter assets directly, through programs, or via third-party aggregators.
With a robust suite of APIs and support for open protocols like IEEE2030.5, Flex can also integrate with upstream planning and operations systems (including Grid DERMS and ADMS), enabling even more targeted and sophisticated use cases to mitigate local congestion, accelerate DER interconnection, and enhance the value of demand management programs.
