Plug and Play Distributed Energy Resources Will Supercharge the Energy Ecosystem
Currently, deployments of innovative distributed energy resources (DERs) are being held back by one important thing. It is costly in time and effort to get them to work together. With interoperability for the electric grid, envision a neighborhood has solar generation directed to EV charging and storage during times of high production and low costs. When the sun sets, stored energy is used to meet the local increased load, reducing stress on the grid and maintaining comfort and convenience for the customers. This future is what the finalists of the Plug and Play DER challenge worked to create in an Energy Service Interface (ESI).
Find out how interoperability will benefit the grid, how the solutions proposed could work in practice and the steps needed to launch Plug and Play DER. You’ll also learn how to access the ESI design concepts to inform your DER integration solution and how you can get involved in making these solutions a reality.
