CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- GE Vernova's Digital business
and EnergyHub, leaders in Distributed Energy Resource Management
System (DERMS) software, today announced an innovative partnership
aimed at redefining how electric utilities manage distributed
energy resources (DERs). This includes solar, energy storage,
electric vehicles, and more, as these technologies are widely
adopted across the energy landscape.
This partnership combines the advanced grid optimization
capabilities of GE Vernova's GridOS® DERMS with EnergyHub's DERMS
management and control over an extensive portfolio of grid-edge
DERs. The result is a comprehensive and scalable solution designed
to streamline the management of these emerging energy assets. By
combining these capabilities, utilities are enabled to build large
DER aggregations, deliver enhanced load flexibility across the
grid, unlock new energy storage capacity, and make data-driven
decisions that optimize grid performance, ultimately leading to
improved customer experiences.
"Together, we can empower utilities to unlock the full potential
of emerging energy sources within the grid. By adopting our joint
solution, utilities can accelerate their grid modernization
initiatives today and prepare for the grid of the future," said
Mahesh Sudhakaran, General Manager,
Grid Software at GE Vernova's Digital business. "By leveraging
best-in-class grid optimization and edge controls, GE Vernova and
EnergyHub are at the forefront of a new era of intelligent DER
management."
"We are excited to partner with GE Vernova's Digital business to
transform the way utilities manage and optimize power grids," said
Seth Frader-Thompson, EnergyHub CEO.
"By harnessing the power of intelligent DER management and load
flexibility, utilities can achieve a more reliable and efficient
grid, while also empowering their customers to actively participate
in the energy transition. This partnership represents a significant
step forward in enabling a more sustainable and intelligent energy
future."
