Grid Edge Intelligence for DER Integration : Operational IT/OT, Distributed Monitoring and Control, and Communications Networks: Global Market Analysis and ForecastsLONDON, Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The global utility business faces unprecedented challenges—and opportunities—as distributed energy resources (DER) proliferate. Thus, there is a growing need for more intelligence, control, and agility in the distribution grid, particularly at the edge, where many new disruptive resources and loads are located. To date, utility efforts have been largely reactive, focused on issues caused by renewables intermittency, shifting loads, capacity constraints, and bidirectional power flows. In the longer term, grid edge intelligence and automation will enable the proactive development of markets for aggregated clean resources and services, service-oriented business models, and end-to-end integrated grid management strategies. Key Questions Addressed: What technical challenges are caused by distributed energy resources (DER) and how can utilities deploy new technologies to mitigate these issues? What systems, monitoring, and equipment technologies can be applied to improve monitoring and automation/ control of the medium-voltage/low-voltage (MV/LV) distribution network? What communications networks and technologies are appropriate for monitoring and automation/control of the MV/LV distribution network? How are vendors across IT/OT/communications markets addressing these challenges? How are different technologies converging to offer utilities enhanced choice in upgrading their networks? How can utilities integrate different offerings in an optimal manner to ensure a return on investment (ROI)? Who needs this report?
