As DERs gain traction, they offer significant potential to enhance grid flexibility and efficiency. Yet, the effective integration of DERs remains challenging, especially as this sector becomes increasingly fragmented. Connecting these assets for data sharing and responsiveness is essential for creating a dynamic and adaptable grid.
This session will feature Derapi CEO Stina Brock and Honeywell’s Salman Sheikh, who will share their insights on the difficulties of integrating DER technologies, focusing specifically on solar PV inverters, solar-plus-storage systems, and batteries. They’ll discuss best practices for API integration to reduce time to market and offer practical lessons learned in this complex space.
Adding a project ownership perspective, Louis Langlois, with extensive experience in solar and storage assets, will discuss the unique financial challenges and opportunities within DERs. Langlois will explore how developer-owner-operators and IPPs can unlock value in this growing asset class, advancing DER deployment in a shifting energy landscape.
