K&A Attends DISTRIBUTECH 2020 Conference, Discusses Energy Industry Digital Marketing Services and Market Analysis

DistribuTECH's Focus on DERMS: Trends and Market Analysis

A big trend in recent DistribuTECH conferences has been the focus on DERMS and various grid modernization and software solutions. This begs the question: what is DERMS? K&A, a market research firm focused on the energy and power industries, prepares a range of energy benchmarking studies and market analysis focused on the electric utility generation, transmission, and distribution sectors. We meet with electric utilities at various conferences and also conduct various energy industry demand generation and nurture campaigns for branding, lead generation, and lead pipeline development for our clients. This gives us some energy industry domain authority to comment on this subject.

What is DERMS?

The current market landscape for Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) is characterized by a growing interest among larger western utilities in incorporating renewable assets and DERs into their networks. The relevance of DERMS solutions is contingent upon the country's energy transition maturity, with Western Europe, the USA, and Australia-NZ leading in DER penetration. Advanced markets, particularly in Western Europe and the USA, are in the early stages of DERMS adoption, with a focus on comprehensive solutions covering forecasting, DER Device Management, Visibility & Analysis, Control, Demand Management, Grid Services, and Market Interactions. These markets express a clear need for a holistic approach to managing DERs, including various services and interactions. On the other hand, emerging markets in Eastern Europe and Asia-Pacific are experiencing limited DER activity, with utilities in these regions serving rural markets where customer energy choices and operational excellence may not be high priorities. The DERMS landscape in these regions requires more clarity in regulatory frameworks and may not be compensated by rate base yet. Overall, the DERMS market exhibits diverse needs and opportunities, with advanced markets seeking sophisticated solutions and emerging markets requiring tailored approaches to fit their specific conditions.
