Unleash Values From Grid-Edge Flexibility: An Overview, Experience, and Vision for Leveraging Grid-Edge Distributed Energy Resources to Improve Grid Operations

Journal Article · · IEEE Electrification Magazine
The power system landscape is presently undergoing a dramatic change with the rapid integration of numerous distributed energy resources (DERs) at the grid edge. Broadly, we consider grid-edge DERs as any electricity source, storage, and demand response program connected to the medium-to-low-voltage distribution system.
