DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management System)
Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS)
A Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) is a software platform that enables utilities and grid operators to efficiently manage and optimize Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage, electric vehicles (EVs), and demand response programs.
DERMS helps maintain grid stability, integrate renewable energy sources, and ensure efficient power distribution by balancing supply and demand in real time.
