Power Panel Discussion: DERMS
As power systems evolve toward a more decentralized future, Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) are emerging as a cornerstone of grid modernization. Join industry experts on 12 November 2026 to explore how DERMS can improve visibility and control at the grid edge, unlock the value of storage and microgrids, and enable utilities to coordinate distributed resources in real time.
DERMS goes beyond managing distributed assets, it provides the intelligence needed to orchestrate solar, storage, microgrids, and flexible loads in real time. With enhanced visibility, advanced analytics, and automated control, utilities can optimize grid operations, integrate more renewable energy, and respond dynamically to changing system conditions.
Industry experts gather here to discuss how DERMS is reshaping grid management, turning distributed resources into coordinated assets that strengthen reliability, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate the transition to a smarter energy future.
Itron's Nick Tumilowicz, Director of Product Management, DEM, will be presenting along with Doug Houseman, Consultant at Burns & McDonnell.
Key topics of discussion are:
- How Can DERMS Improve Visibility and Control at the Grid Edge?
- Can DERMS Unlock the Full Value of Storage and Microgrids?
