Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) are quickly gaining adoption as an indispensable tool for managing the large influx of distributed energy resources (DERs). The ability to optimize and orchestrate huge numbers of DERs is essential to integrate large amounts of intermittent renewable generation while also ensuring grid reliability.

Recently, over a nine-hour period, Spain's electrical grid accomplished something significant: renewable generation—including wind, solar and hydropower—exceeded the nation's total electricity demand. While still far from the 2050 net-zero target, Spain is on its way thanks to the Iberdrola Group, a global energy leader that is taking bold action to achieve a 100% renewable electricity system.

Electrification is accelerating across all economic sectors as the world increases demand for resources, energy and sustainability. The shift from fossil-based systems to electric will drive change within the existing power infrastructure and beyond with new microgrids and self-generation at industrial sites.

Distributed energy resources (DERs) pose challenges and opportunities for utilities. Power quality and voltage issues, for instance, can threaten grid reliability and damage transformers, capacitors and other infrastructure. DERs also benefit utilities by leveraging customer investments to achieve sustainability goals, reduce peak demand and avoid the need for expensive grid upgrades.
