GE Vernova is working with New York distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) software company EnergyHub to redefine how electric utilities manage distributed energy resources (DERs).

This includes solar, energy storage and electric vehicles, as these technologies are widely adopted across the energy landscape.

This partnership combines the grid optimisation capabilities of GE Vernova’s GridOs DERMS with EnergyHub’s DERMS management and control over a portfolio of grid-edge DERs. The result is comprehensive and scalable, and designed to streamline the management of these emerging energy assets. By combining these capabilities, utilities can build large DER aggregations, deliver enhanced load flexibility across the grid, unlock energy storage capacity, and make data-driven decisions that optimise grid performance, ultimately leading to improved customer experiences.

“Together, we can empower utilities to unlock the full potential of emerging energy sources within the grid,” said Mahesh Sudhakaran, general manager at GE Vernova’s digital business. “By adopting our joint solution, utilities can accelerate their grid modernisation initiatives today and prepare for the grid of the future. By leveraging best-in-class grid optimisation and edge controls, GE Vernova and EnergyHub are at the forefront of a new era of intelligent DER management.”

Seth Frader-Thompson, EnergyHub CEO, added: “We are excited to partner with GE Vernova’s digital business to transform the way utilities manage and optimise power grids. By harnessing the power of intelligent DER management and load flexibility, utilities can achieve a more reliable and efficient grid, while also empowering their customers to actively participate in the energy transition. This partnership represents a significant step forward in enabling a more sustainable and intelligent energy future.”

GridOs DERMS is an enterprise offering that helps utilities efficiently orchestrate the rapid expansion of DERs. With more than 90 customers and over 127 million managed utility service points around the globe, GridOs DERMS equips grid operators with a suite of modular applications to oversee every aspect of the DER journey, from their initial integration and visualisation, to ongoing operation of control and optimisation.

Features include forecasting, system violation resolution, real-time DER management and dispatch, and optimisation through access to wholesale and local services markets. Built on the foundation of the GridOs platform, the end-to-end grid orchestration software portfolio GridOs DERMS embraces a modern software approach with a secure architecture tailored to accelerate grid modernisation.

EnergyHub’s DERMS provides an enterprise-wide platform to build and orchestrate grid-edge DER portfolios. Over 60 utilities use the platform, managing more than a million DERs and 1.7GW of dispatchable capacity. Leveraging the largest ecosystem of DERs in the industry, EnergyHub’s DERMS manages the full lifecycle of utility DER management, from resource formation and asset management to flexibility forecasting to localised DER dispatch and optimisation.
