Evergy DERMS with OATI — Wednesday, 1:00 - 1:50 PM | Room 6D

Grid edge and grid level Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) are important tools for utilities to manage DER assets and work with Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) to promote a more flexible and controllable grid. Such important tools require input from a variety of utility stakeholders, including operations, demand response, and product software.

This session will spotlight Evergy’s DERMS journey, which started in 2018, and now covers two states and four jurisdictions. We’ll discuss the current portfolio, which consists of over 200 MWs and includes business demand response, residential thermostats, and an electric battery pilot. Topics will include lessons learned from vendor cutovers, handling multiple DRMS programs, and preparing for future FERC 2222 marketplace aggregator participation. The importance of Evergy’s cross-department team will be highlighted as we discuss the planning and operations of Evergy’s DERMS. We’ll end by discussing Evergy’s next phase: pairing DERMS data with Evergy’s ADMS to showcase where DERs are located for better monitoring and the option to call location-specific events.
