Distributed energy resources (DERs) are changing the way utilities think about power generation and energy flow. Power generation, which used to be managed and controlled exclusively by the utility, is in more and more instances being controlled behind the meter at the hands of utility customers. There is also the dynamic of two-way energy flow, with many utilities allowing customers to sell power back to the utility.<\/p>\n

DERs such as solar panels, wind turbines, microgrids and energy storage each bring with them different considerations and challenges when tracking their locations and impact on the overall energy portfolio. Plus, the ability for a utility to guarantee reliable and resilient power can come into question when DERs are not properly monitored, controlled and tracked.<\/p>\n

TRC has 50+ years of\u00a0distribution and power delivery engineering<\/a>\u00a0experience, 30+ years of\u00a0advanced energy<\/a>\u00a0program design experience, plus\u00a0TRC Digital\u00a0<\/a>offers end-to-end\u00a0IT\/OT consulting and integration solutions<\/a>\u00a0for controlling DERs, as well as optimizing grid assets and achieving maximum reliability through storage, sensing, prediction, and controls solutions.<\/p>\n
