Distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) explained
Looking for a definition for distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS)? Good luck. A murky vendor pool and half-baked solutions are the culprits. OATI DERMS is the most-deployed, trusted, and proven DERMS with enterprise-level scale that stretches from meters to markets.
OATI is demystifying DERMS, bringing clarity to what separates aggregator and grid-edge DERMS from grid DERMS, and what enterprise DERMS really means in practice. OATI created the first DERMS in 2009 and has been the market leader ever since.
Together with our utility partners, we have connected 10,000 MWs of controllable load (and growing), developed deep experience for DERMS integration with legacy systems, and created the only DERMS platform capable of extending from the grid edge to energy markets.
