Prepare your grid for the DER future

Download Oracle’s ebook to learn how utilities can model, monitor, manage, and optimize distributed energy resources (DERs). Discover how to build the operational visibility, control, and flexibility needed to support an evolving grid with a practical, step-by-step approach to a DER management system (DERMS).

The rapid growth of DERs is transforming how utilities plan and operate the electric grid. As rooftop solar, battery storage, electric vehicles, and other distributed assets become more prevalent, grid operators need new capabilities to maintain reliability, optimize operations, and safely integrate these resources at scale. A DERMS provides the intelligence and control needed to manage this growing complexity.

In this ebook, you’ll explore the DERMS adoption process, from establishing foundational DER awareness and monitoring to enabling advanced optimization, customer program management, and market participation. You’ll also gain practical guidance to assess the state of your utility, identify which capabilities to prioritize next, and create a roadmap for a more resilient, flexible, and intelligent grid.
