The final, third part of this series explores how DERs and Virtual Power Plants are participating in today’s energy markets—including a close look at ISO/RTO-specific programs, qualification requirements, and market rules. We examine how these policies and procedures affect the real-world ability of aggregated DERs to operate as grid resources and the complexity stakeholders face when navigating these systems.
Part Two of this three-part series shifts focus from regulatory reform to the technological breakthroughs that make DER participation possible. From the falling cost of microprocessors to the rise of advanced metering infrastructure and predictive analytics, we explore how data, telemetry, and intelligent control systems have become the backbone of the distributed energy economy.
The evolution of energy markets from vertically integrated utilities to open access competitive markets has created a power grid increasingly integrating smaller and more diverse distributed energy resources requiring robust interaction for integration and management.
