End-to-end DERMS to power the Energy Transition, rated #1 on capabilities by IDC MarketScape
Download fact sheetDistributed Energy Resources (DERs) are growing in volume and complexity. How can utilities keep their grid safe and reliable? How can they drive customer engagement, while enabling the economic value of DERs?
Distribution utilities are challenged with DER backlogs, regulatory/market requirements, and operational risks due to DERs. Additionally, they also need to enable a cleaner grid and provide a pathway to net zero for their customers.
Opus One Distributed Energy Resources Management System software provides intelligence, operations, economics, and markets in one modular solution that enables grid operators to connect, see, control, and optimize DERs from a technical and an economic standpoint, while helping utilities provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy to their customers.
GE Digital and Opus One Solutions have come together to help utilities on their DER journey with a modular DERMS platform, that can grow with their needs use case by use case, feeder by feeder, and substation by substation. Our solution enables utilities to keep the grid secure and resilient, enable Non-Wires Alternatives (NWA), access flex and transactive markets, and enable an intelligent energy network.
Comprehensive use case coverage with analytics, operations, economics, and markets in one DERMS solution.
Determine the hosting capacity of your grid. Perform scenario analysis to determine the impact of DERs on your grid. Automate your connection acceptance workflow.
Get an aggregated or a disaggregated view of connected DERs. Monitor DERs to increase your situation awareness. Anticipate violations for more DER control levers to allow more time to solve. Run grid-level DER analysis, based on a true digital twin of your grid (including as-operated topology).
Manage within the limits of DER programs and schedules agreed to by customers. Ensure targeted control of DERs at a wide and a granular level. Track measurement, verification, and settlements for DER dispatches and control.
Calculate the amount that every DER should be dispatched to remain within dynamic operating envelopes, not just in real-time, but also in look-ahead. Avoid violations on the network. Simulate the impact of DER growth on your grid.
Achieve techno-economic optimization. Enable non-wires alternatives and access to DSO, flex, and transactive markets. Ensure that flexibility trades being agreed to at market level do not violate grid reliability or QoS.

Partnering to meet the challenges of the energy transition
Opus One Distributed Energy Resources Management System enables utilities to ensure grid reliability and comply with regulations, while enabling energy affordability and customer participation in grid modernization.
As DER penetration increases, economic considerations arise. It's not enough for look-ahead optimization to only account for factors such as grid reliability/QoS or contractual constraints around DER operations. It also needs to factor in DER dispatch compensation costs.
Our model-based, 3-phase AC unbalanced, security constrained optimization engine can:
Safe, secure management and orchestration of the distribution grid
Enable utilities to manage and orchestrate Renewables & DERs in an end-to-end manner, via flexible deployment options ranging from edge to cloud
Predict intermittency for transmission and distribution
