Unlock More DER Value with Localized Dispatch Capabilities

Virtual Peaker’s advanced grouping capabilities, combined with localized dispatch control, help you maximize the value of distributed energy resources (DERs). Customizable grouping capabilities within our DERMS allow you to view and control your assets by any parameters– type, location, capacity, program– the possibilities are vast! Create interconnected relationships between grouped assets that allow you to leverage events across multiple groupings for endless output possibilities.

Localized Grouping and Dispatch

Alleviate Locational and Distribution Constraints

Design and execute demand response events tailored to align seamlessly with utility feeder and distribution structures. Easily enable dispatch downstream of specific points of constraint in the distribution system. Target specific regional locations or a particular feeder, to allow targeted relief within localized areas of the grid.

Reliably Predict and Maximize DER Impact

Easily leverage DERs by creating hierarchical grouping by different programs, operating companies, DER types, locations, or your own custom identifiers. This grouping structure creates endless combinations for deploying events and layering impact. Call one event that yields multiple outputs and analyze results utilizing a variety of factors.

Allow Participation in ISO/RTO Markets

Enable more flexible dispatch for parent utilities with co-ops or operating companies and participating in ISO and RTO markets. Operate across companies and programs all from one platform. Create hierarchical groupings within generation and transmission coops or joint action agencies to allow maximum participation with reliable oversight and confident control.

Call Events Across Multiple Devices or Programs

Through our Formations features, utilities can run their EV charging program in one area, demand response in another, and BYOD program elsewhere, minimizing customer disruptions while fostering a holistic network of interconnected and aggregatable DER assets.
