Unlocking Grid Agility: Decentralized Solutions for ADMS and DER Challenges
Centralized systems like Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) face challenges in addressing the increasing complexity of medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) grids. As the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the proliferation of IoT devices increase, the demand for real-time data processing and localized decision-making surpasses the capabilities of traditional centralized systems. Multifunction Edge platform address these challenges by decentralizing data processing, enabling faster and more efficient management of the grid’s complexities, and providing enhanced operational agility in adapting to dynamic energy landscapes. Additionaly, these platforms can now leverage open architectures, standards, and an ecosystem-based approach to accelerate the pace of development, the breath of solutions available, and therefore, the value created at the edge.
