PowerUp VDERMS is a groundbreaking platform that integrates the functionalities of a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) into one cohesive solution. This unique combination provides businesses and utility companies with the tools to manage distributed energy resources effectively, ensuring:
• Economic Benefits: Industrial customers can participate in energy markets and reduce costs during peak times.
• Technical Balance: Utility operators can maintain real-time grid stability and reliability, even under challenging conditions.
VDERMS takes the best of VPP—enabling aggregated market participation—and combines it with the technical control provided by DERMS, resulting in an advanced system that works seamlessly to support both economic and technical objectives.
PowerUp VDERMS enables industrial manufacturers and utilities to access energy markets, optimize costs, and maintain grid stability through intelligent, coordinated resource management.
PowerUp VDERMS empowers manufacturers and utilities with AI-driven insights, helping industrial users save on peak costs and enabling utilities to automate resource control for balanced supply and demand.
VDERMS uses digital twin technology to simulate energy performance, helping industrial clients reduce costs and utilities ensure grid stability, while advanced analytics support strategic, ROI-driven decisions.
In today’s volatile energy landscape, industrial manufacturers and utility companies face distinct challenges. Manufacturers must find ways to reduce costs and improve resilience amidst disruptions, while utilities must manage technical grid requirements in real time to accommodate rising demand.
What is VDERMS?
VDERMS (Virtual Power Plant + Distributed Energy Resource Management System) combines two powerful energy management systems:
• Virtual Power Plant (VPP): Aggregates distributed energy resources to act as a single unit in energy markets, enabling market participation for both economic gains and grid support.
• Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS): Provides localized, real-time control of distributed resources to maintain grid reliability and address technical constraints.
PowerUp VDERMS offers a dual strategic advantage:
• For Industrial Manufacturers: VDERMS enables you to participate in energy markets and reduce peak energy costs through intelligent load management and optimized use of distributed energy resources.
• For Utility Companies: VDERMS helps maintain the grid’s stability by controlling and dispatching distributed energy resources in real time, balancing the technical demands of the grid while creating opportunities for economic optimization.
VDERMS leverages your current energy landscape to:
• Enable industrial customers to avoid peak charges by participating in demand response programs and managing distributed energy resources intelligently.
• Allow utility operators to optimize supply-demand balance by utilizing DERMS for local grid stability and initiating demand response through the integrated VPP when needed.
VDERMS enables industrial customers to participate in local energy markets, unlocking new revenue through short (30 min - 1 hr) and extended (up to 4 hours with battery storage) events. Manufacturers gain additional income, while utilities benefit from improved grid stability and increased revenue.
The VDERMS platform enhances resilience for industrial clients by deploying energy storage during grid outages or high-rate periods. For utilities, it intelligently manages distributed resources to prevent instability and minimize blackouts or brownouts. PowerUp VDERMS fosters collaboration between manufacturers and utilities, creating a more reliable and cost-efficient energy ecosystem.
