Boost Your DER Strategy With a DERMS Built for Modern Utilities
Virtual Peaker’s Shift DERMS suite manages residential electric demand. It applies machine learning and real-time control to internet-enabled appliances to reduce demand while minimizing the negative impact on the residential customer. Shift connects in-home smart devices to run residential demand response programs that leverage distributed energy resources (DERs) to reduce cost and peak load.
Utility Portal
The Virtual Peaker utility portal enables you to manage the complete lifecycle of all DERs.
With Virtual Peaker’s Shift DERMS utility portal, you can:
- Own and manage the entire lifecycle of your DER programs all in one platform.
- Communicate with customers about demand response events and device statuses with easy-to-use email and/or SMS.
- Deploy demand response programs with the click of a button.
- Add new control strategies, device types, and manufacturers when you’re ready and as your demand response (DR) programs grow.
- Use a secure, intuitive portal that allows for user-based permissions to be configured by role and need.
Real-Time Data Reporting
Control costs and the impact of transmission peaks with real-time data and reporting.
Our Shift DERMS Suite reporting enables you to:
- Take control of your DER strategy with real-time data down to the individual device level.
- Measure and verify DER events with customizable data visualizations – by device type, event timelines, and more.
- Gain insights from normalized and translated data originating from multiple manufacturers and technologies – from thermostats, batteries, EV chargers, and EV telematics.
- Utilize built-in device-level analytics for determining energy consumption for DR events for both pre-event and post-event.
- Create reports for event performance, device data, customer enrollments, and more!
- Track demand response dispatched events at participating homes.
- Customizable and reliable baselining and reporting are built into the reporting interface.
