VPP operations

Many assets.
One coordinated response.

Bring generation, storage and flexible demand into an operating plan built around your energy needs. Parsecc DERMS helps your team monitor connected resources, plan their participation and coordinate their response across a Virtual Power Plant.

Operate as a network

Put the whole system to work.

Connected equipment creates an opportunity to work together. Parsecc DERMS brings the operating picture and coordinated response into one approach, built around your sites and the energy needs they serve.

See the network together.

Bring asset status and operating information into a shared view so your team can understand what is happening across participating resources.

Coordinate around your priorities.

Account for site requirements, equipment limits and resource availability when planning a response.

Put complementary resources to work.

Coordinate generation, stored energy and suitable load adjustments around the needs of the network.

One event. Three coordinated contributions.

During a higher-demand period, each resource has a different role. Select a contribution to see how it fits into the response.

Asset availability · Site priorities · Operating limits

Generation

Contribute available electricity.

Available supply

Storage

Discharge within the battery’s limits.

Stored energy

Flexible demand

Adjust suitable electricity use.

Load adjustment

Combined response

Different capabilities. A coordinated contribution.

Available generation supplies electricity, batteries contribute stored energy, and suitable loads adjust their consumption. Parsecc DERMS coordinates these roles around the operating plan and the needs of participating sites.

Illustrative higher-demand scenario. Resource roles are conceptual; the example shows no measured output, savings or market result.

From asset visibility to coordinated action.

Bring the network into view.

Collect operating information through AIoT controllers and compatible connections. Parsecc DERMS brings participating generation, storage and flexible loads into a shared operating view.

Understand available capacity.

Know which resources can participate.

Review asset status, equipment limits and site requirements to establish the resources available for the operating plan. Participation reflects what each asset can contribute at that time.

Plan the response.

Prepare around the needs of the network.

Use expected generation, demand and site priorities to establish an operating plan. Consider how the resources complement one another while preserving the requirements of participating sites.

Coordinate dispatch.

Give each participating resource its role.

Parsecc DERMS sends operating instructions through connected controllers to compatible equipment. Generation, batteries and controllable loads follow their assigned roles within the operating plan.

Track the response.

Follow the assets as the plan unfolds.

Monitor operating updates as participating resources carry out their instructions. Returning equipment information helps your team assess the response across the network.

Review and adjust.

Use the response to inform what comes next.

Compare the observed response with the operating plan. Review differences and site conditions to inform subsequent schedules, participation and operating decisions.

Explore the resources behind the response.

What does Parsecc DERMS do?

Parsecc is our Distributed Energy Resource Management System. It brings operating information from participating resources into a shared view and coordinates instructions through connected controllers and compatible equipment.

How do generation, storage and flexible demand work together?

Generation produces electricity, batteries hold energy for later use, and flexible loads adjust when or how much electricity they consume. The operating plan coordinates these different capabilities around network needs and site requirements.

Can sites keep their own operating priorities?

Site requirements and equipment limits are inputs to the operating plan. Available participation is established within those boundaries before resources are coordinated.

What is needed to join the operating network?

Start with an asset review covering equipment capabilities, communications and operating requirements. Our Connected Devices page explains how AIoT controllers connect compatible equipment with Parsecc DERMS.
