  • Grid modernization technologies to maximize DER value

Grid-integrated distributed energy resources (DER) can support a resilient, low-carbon power system. However, leveraging DER effectively in a modernized grid means improving grid operator visibility and control, in addition to supporting emerging energy services.

As DER becomes more prevalent, real-time communication and orchestration will be necessary to maximize customer benefits and minimize energy system impacts. Before a grid operator can invest in modernizing the grid, it must demonstrate the value or cost-effectiveness of these investments to a regulator or governing body.

Download this report to learn how several core components of grid modernization can serve as the foundation of a future power system with widespread DER. You’ll also learn how regulators are increasingly using new approaches to evaluate DER-related investments.
