mPrest teams up with Energy Queensland, one of Australia's largest electricity distribution organizations, to provide a grid topology aware DERMS supporting Energy Queensland's large current and expanding install-base of DERs and DER programs
TEL AVIV and BRISBANE, Australia, Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- mPrest, a leading developer and provider of dynamic grid aware Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) for utilities, and Energy Queensland, one of Australia's largest wholly government-owned electricity companies, announced today their teaming up to deliver a dynamic grid topology aware, distribution utility focused DERMS project, with a goal of orchestrating and optimizing energy from over one million Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and DER & load control programs.
Energy Queensland already leads the world with rooftop solar penetration. As Queensland adds more renewable generation to the grid, this creates challenges for managing voltage and thermal limits on the distribution network, and more broadly, effects system-wide stability. Managing this increase in DERs and optimizing DER flexibility becomes critical so that Energy Queensland can achieve its strategic objectives for its customers.
"The Australian market is an advanced and fully deregulated renewable energy market" said Ron Halpern, mPrest's Chief Commercial Officer. "Such a scenario, of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and DER energy trading with the energy market, combined with Australia's high DER penetration, introduces distribution grid constraint challenges. We're excited to implement within our mDERMS Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs) - which are power envelopes that the distribution utility can apply to grid imports and exports, thus enabling dynamic management of grid constraints with minimal impacts on customers. We expect this model to be adopted in other regions around the world as well."
