Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS)
Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) are enterprise solutions operated and managed by utility companies to monitor, control, and optimize distributed energy resources (DERs) owned by utilities, customers, or third-party aggregators. DERMS play a critical role in supporting grid operations and participating in energy markets.
