Controllable distributed energy resources (DERs) are key to the successful transition to a zero-carbon grid.
Industry context
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are controllable energy assets that can generate, store, or consume energy. Examples of DERs are thermostats, heat pumps, batteries, boilers, electric vehicles (EVs), smart inverters, and so on. The ability to control DERs plays an important role in grid stability and achieving zero-carbon goals in addition to offering end consumers benefits, such as rebates offered by utilities.
