N-1CI C0068718 IT – DERMS Solution Project - Application - Redacted 3 passages
DESCRIPTION:
DESCRIPTION: This project will implement a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) platform in NS Power's Distribution Control Centre (DCC). The DERMS platform will enable automation of the processes for Distributed Energy Re...

AI summary This project involves implementing a DERMS platform in NS Power's DCC to automate DER management, providing real-time visibility, control, and coordination of DERs. The system will support the integration of DERs into the grid, improve operational awareness, and enable future scalability for DER technologies and programs.

Request IR-1:
Request IR-1: The application notes the following: …Reduce manual operational DER management effort through process automation; Improve operational awareness through centralized visibility and control of DERs; Standardize management of a m...

AI summary The application highlights the need for a centralized platform to manage and orchestrate DERs, improving visibility and control for NS Power's DCC operators. Current processes are decentralized and manual, leading to localized grid impacts that are difficult to identify without a DERMS platform. The project aligns with the DERIR strategy to coordinate DER behavior and avoid grid constraints.
