Why DER Insights?
Gridscale X DER Insights uncovers behind-the-meter (BTM) DERs, their behavior, and their impact on grid equipment with an accurate distribution grid model. You can make data-driven decisions to prioritize infrastructure equipment upgrades for preventing unexpected issues, and fully leverage the potential of DER flexibility to protect critical infrastructure and increase capacity.
Ready-to-go capabilities
DER Visibility (Location and Behavior)
Give your distribution planners the DER visibility they desperately need. Using load disaggregation, DER Insights detects BTM PV, EV, BESS at distribution transformer level, aggregated to circuit (feeder) and substation transformer. Understand and visualize DER behavior with estimated 15-min historical power profiles, peaks, and average energy values.
Grid Impact
Prioritize grid segments needing attention NOW! DER Insights identifies grid areas impacted by DERs. It provides an easy-to-visualize Grid Impact Score from historical smart meter data, calculated by analyzing #, freq, duration of capacity/voltage violations. Score starts at distribution transformer level, aggregated by topology. Visually assess grid asset impact & criticality.
Build your grid model
Easily build and manage a digital representation of your medium-voltage grid with DER Insights. Experts use automation and visualization to create their digital model. The software integrates data from multiple sources, maps smart meters to service delivery points, enriches and validates parameters for electrical consistency. This reliable grid model can be updated and used across teams with minimal effort.
