Overview Power Systems
The Legacy Power Systems: The Emerging Power System:
➢ Consumers are installing solar PV, battery storage and microgrids
▪ Reducing environmental impacts.
▪ Sell their excess DER power back to the grid.
Source: online
➢ Energy Generation
➢ Energy Transmission
➢ Energy Distribution
➢ Deliver to the Consumers

Why DERiM Solution
As DER sites are growing..
➢ Developers and contractors to identify potential
sites for DER’s.
➢ Distribution service providers need to provide
necessary information to DER’s.
➢ Energy Efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR)
➢ Improve the Green Energy.
➢ Need proper utility Regulations.
• Rooftop and community-scale solar PV.
• Distributed battery storage.
• Natural gas-powered microgrids.
• Energy efficiency and demand response.
