DERMS definition

DERMS or “Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems” means a software-based solution that allows for an operator’s real-time visibility into and control over its underlying Distributed Energy Resource capabilities. Such software shall allow SCE to exercise a heightened level of control and flexibility in the management of a Distributed Energy Resource. DERMS as used in this Agreement may be separate, distinct, and incremental to any software- based solution that allows for an operator’s real-time visibility into its underlying Distributed Energy Resource capabilities required by the CAISO, Seller’s interconnection agreement, or by SCE in its capacity as T&D Provider.

Examples of DERMS in a sentence

• If such DERMS become available during the Term, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to implement DERs to DERMS interfacing equipment to the Project to allow for such DERs Monitoring.

• For the purpose of determining hours achieved, a DER Unit will be deemed to have been available for each Settlement Period: If non-synchronous, when it is online with an active communications link as indicated by the DERMS Monitoring, in voltage droop control mode, and has submitted to the DERMS Web Interface an Expected Operating Level for active power (which could be zero, but for which the associated reactive power volume available would be non-zero.).

• The Reactive service is initiated by the DERMS issuing instructions to DER at the start of each Service Window for which DER was contracted, to change its operating mode (where necessary): for a non-synchronous contracted DER unit, to operate in voltage droop control mode; or for a synchronous contracted DER unit, to operate in voltage control mode When in these control modes, DER will automatically respond to voltage changes measured at the DER Connection Point.

• The provision of this service means that the plant should be ready to change its active power output upon an instruction from UK Power Networks via the DERMS.

• Otherwise, the DER would be kept operating at their default operating level and the DERMS would adjust DER voltage set-points if needed to keep a unit’s reactive power output as close to its default value as possible.

• If the DER active power forecast implies a relatively low reactive power range the DERMS will use that reduced volume when building the availability stack for presentation to National Grid.

• Therefore, the situation may arise where DER might have made themselves available but, depending on the combination of bid prices and effectiveness, would not be selected by the DERMS when it receives service procurement request from National Grid.

• At a high level, Power Potential is designed to mimic the situation in which National Grid procures the Power Potential services directly from Providers, but does so via the DERMS.

• After receiving an instruction, it will need to be capable of responding by automatically ramping the active power generated up and/or down according to the DERMS instruction and within the plant limitations.

• The DERMS will instruct DER for utilisation based on its own measurement of real-time availability, and will be entitled to use the full range of flexibility technically afforded to it (as per the Framework Agreement).
