Empowering Utilities with GridOS DERMS

At GE Vernova, we understand the evolving complexities and demands of modern energy grids. GridOS DERMS, our enterprise grid Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) solution, is expertly designed to help utilities efficiently manage and orchestrate the rapidly increasing integration of DERs. With over 90 successful deployments worldwide, GridOS DERMS equips grid operators with a comprehensive suite of modular applications that cover every aspect of the DER lifecycle—from their initial integration and visualization to ongoing operation, control, and optimization.
 
With industry-leading grid optimization capabilities, our solution is tailored to meet the dynamic needs of DER management across transmission and distribution (T&D). Purpose-built to enhance coordination across various systems like ADMS, SCADA, and AEMS, it facilitates grid orchestration and leverages advanced grid-model-based technologies, including look-ahead power flow optimization. Its superior integration capabilities offer seamless compatibility with any DER, adhering to industry standards like OpenADR and IEEE 2030.5, and are strengthened by partnerships with leading Edge DERMS and flexibility markets. At its core, GridOS DERMS is powered by GridOS, the industry’s first end-to-end grid orchestration platform and application suite. It features a Zero Trust grid security model, federated grid data fabric, and enhanced scalability through cutting-edge containerization technologies.
 
A notable success story of GridOS DERMS in action is the partnership with Energy Queensland, where GE Vernova’s innovative solution leveraged IEEE 2030.5 to establish secure communications with DERs and enable Dynamic Connections. This cloud-based deployment streamlined DER registration, provisioning, and commissioning, all in compliance with Common Smart Inverter Profile (CSIP) and SA HB 218:2023 standards. The introduction of Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs) has allowed for the communication of safe operating limits to DER installations, ensuring maximum grid utilization and reliability.
