DER Insights | Siemens

Why DER Insights?

Behind-the-meter DERs are growing at an exponential rate. However, traditional distribution grids are not designed to handle the two-way power flow and rise in electricity demand.

Gridscale X DER Insights uncovers behind-the-meter (BTM) DERs, their behavior and their impact on grid equipment with an accurate distribution grid model. These insights help you make data-driven decisions to prioritize infrastructure upgrades, prevent unexpected issues and fully leverage the potential of DER flexibility to protect critical assets and increase capacity.

With quick-time-to-value, DER Insights seamlessly integrates into your existing landscape and provides valuable insights that help you optimize performance across your grid.

Featured capabilities

DER visibility

Using load disaggregation algorithms, detect the presence of behind-the-meter (BTM) PV, EV, and BESS at the distribution transformer level and aggregated up to the circuit (feeder) and substation transformer.

Grid impact

Get an easy-to-visualize Grid Impact Score from your historical smart meter data and analyze the number, frequency, and duration of capacity and voltage violations over time.

Grid modeling

Easily build and manage a digital representation of your grid. Integrate data from multiple sources, mapping smart meters to service delivery points, enriching parameters, and validating them based on electrical consistency.
