Microgrids

• Distributed energy resources and loads that can be operated in a controlled, coordinated way either connected to the main power grid or in islanded (grid-independent) mode

Hybrid Power Plants

• Hybrid power plants are co-locations of various

Renewables assets in one system, usually coupled

with Batteries, grid-connected

• A young but emerging trend, Hybrid Power Plants are

increasingly investigated by developers and OEMs to

support grid stability

Making largescale use of distributed energy a reality

ABB Ability™ DERMS


A Distributed Energy Resource Management Solution (DERMS) enables distribution network operators to efficiently manage the entire lifecycle of distributed energy resources from registration, their optimization, their control and settlements while achieving the safe, secure and efficient operation of the electric distribution network

—DERMSUse Cases


Distribution network operations: provide DER registrations, forecasts and DER dispatch to maintain grid reliability & performance

Voltage and reliability services: Monitor DERs, dispatch active and reactive power to mitigate voltage issues, and potentially control assets along the feeder and at the grid-edge

Manage hosting capacity constraints: significantly increase hosting capacity for DERs while keeping network infrastructure investment at a minimum
