Summer 2023 Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS)
Silicon Valley Clean Energy is implementing a Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS) for summer 2023 to aggregate and dispatch existing municipal DERs across its territory during critical grid events and peak demand periods. The engagement includes system setup, enrollment of member agency facilities, operational dispatch support, and generating a roadmap for full-scale DERMS deployment. This pilot tests SVCE's ability to mobilize DER response capacity ahead of peak stress periods like the September 2022 heat wave.

AI overview
Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) seeks a consultant to implement a Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS) for summer 2023. The overall goal is two-fold: (1) aggregate targeted DERs in SVCE territory to help respond to critical grid events in 2023, and (2) test the process of implementing a DERMS to generate learnings for SVCE and create a roadmap for full-scale deployment to understand how it may fit into future SVCE plans. The work scope includes establishing a DERMS at SVCE, enrolling member agency facilities (primarily existing municipal DERs), supporting SVCE in using DERMS to dispatch connected DERs, and potential additional activities. SVCE aims to help the grid reduce load and increase supply during moments of peak stresses (such as the heat wave that occurred in September 2022). The focus is largely on existing DERs, with municipal partners as the primary target for enrollment.
