Network Analysis and Shaping for Distributed Leveraging insight for effective Network Operations Energy Resources (DER) Highlights > Management of Demand Response Enrolment with support for OpenADR 2.0 > Intelligence and fine grained control of demand response to meet advanced program needs > Demand forecasting linked with Distributed Generation Planning > Complete integration with smart grid networks, generation and transmission systems > Industry Standards support including OpenADR 2.0 and Smart Energy Protocol 1.0 and 2.0 Benefits > Grid Director can be used to not only initiate, but also monitor demand response events and can correlate those events with others in the system thereby increasing their value. > With a clear view of distributed generation assets, the utility knows where it can flex in demanding situations. > The ability to pre-set DR programs based on local and aggregate network conditions creates the ability to create proactive programs, optimizing their business benefits by triggering them when they are most profitable, and scaling them back automatically when the need subsides. Enabling Advanced Customer Facing Services The Grid Director Network Analysis and Shaping for Distributed Energy Resources (DER) application supports emerging utility requirements, from simple initial deployments of advanced power programs, to more comprehensive offerings. This application provides capabilities for monitoring and tracking DR and DG signals, including signal fault management and automated response, by integrating seamlessly with relevant systems, including ADMS, DRMS, DRAS and others. Interactive workbenches and geospatial mapping overlays are designed for tracking real-time signals, signal response, signal failure and plan-versus-actual states, allowing for immediate validation of demand response needs and availability of distributed generation resources. These capabilities allow operations teams to track and monitor secondary resources within the same framework as primary assets and primary generation, for one single contextualized and actionable view of the entire distribution system. Real time analysis optimizes demand response programs, and contextualizes these programs with all relevant data, including not only primary generation data, but also secondary site-specific generation assets – providing a comprehensive view to support the most effective programs possible. GD-APPL-NETCTRLDR-0410 The Grid Director Network Analysis and Shaping for DER application provides a toolset that allows utilities to take control of their demand response programs to make them a truly integrated offering. Key Features With real time insight, operations knows the effectiveness of demand response events as they happen, in order to make decisions affecting programs while they are underway, maximizing their value to the utility. Uptake Monitoring and Recording > With full visibility of distributed generation assets across the network, the utility can maximise utilization when it makes the most sense, while ensuring safety in the field by tracking all power in the system – both from the utility and back to it from customer generation assets. > Immediate geospatial visualization of demand response and distributed generation removes the complexity and delay of semi-manual analysis. > Integration with distribution and transmission systems brings demand response and distributed generation into the network operations center. > Rich and customizable dashboards and KPIs provide real time information in a manner understandable to business stakeholders. > Full support of industry standards with integration tools to support legacy environments provides a system that supports current needs, and prepares a path for future growth. Event Management Demand response events are planned in advance, or triggered by specific events, and tracked as they happen Tracking opt in and out of demand response provides a view of success At-A-Glance Views of Success Information rich dashboards give operators the information they need quickly and in an easily understood format Full Integration Integration with all aspects distributed generation provides a compkete view of energy availability on the grid Complete Control About Bit Stew Systems Inc.
