EPIC 2.02 – Distributed Energy Resource Management System		https://www.pge.com/pge_global/common/pdfs/about-pge/environment/what-we-are-doing/electric-program-investment-charge/PGE-EPIC-2.02.pdf	This report summarizes the project objectives, technical results and lessons learned for EPIC Project 2.02 - Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS). The main objective of the DERMS Demo was to test and demonstrate that new technologies can provide the functionality to monitor and control DERs to manage system constraints and evaluate the potential value of DER flexibility to the grid. The DERMS Demo demonstrated that value from DERs to provide grid services could be realized. This demonstration drove learnings about the people, process, and technology needed to operate the high DER penetration grid of the future. The challenges and lessons learned through this implementation helped move the industry and PG&E forward in the DERMS space, while grounding perspectives of near-term versus future needs and capabilities.

75	2022	Distributed energy resource management systems—DERMS: Stateof the art and how to move forward	Strezoski, L.	Article	Active management of distribution grid			No file uploaded.			https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wene.460	Due to an ever-increasing rise in proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs), the paradigm of passive electrical distribution networks is shifting toward active distribution systems. This new environment introduces a plethora of challenges that cannot be managed by traditional tools, whose utilization could compromise the reliability and efficient operation of distribution feeders. This article systematically reviews state of the art in different DERs management software solutions available today. Additionally, it establishes distinguished roles and responsibilities of different levels of hierarchy in distinct solutions that are all commonly called DERs management systems—DERMS (e.g., fully centralized versus fully decentralized DER management solutions). Lastly, it offers a viewpoint on the directions that hold potential for the power system community and industry to explore for further developments of more robust and intelligent DERMS, to successfully enable efficient transition into a new era of clean and sustainable power systems, encompassing active and dynamically changing distribution circuits.

Requirements for DMS Integration with DERMS and Microgrids	Argonne National Laboratory	Guidelines	Active management of distribution grid			No file uploaded.			https://publications.anl.gov/anlpubs/2015/08/120642.pdf	This guideline focuses on the integration of DMS with DERMS and microgrids connected to the distribution grid by defining generic and fundamental design and implementation principles and strategies. It starts by addressing the current status, objectives, and core functionalities of each system, and then discusses the new challenges and the common principles of DMS design and implementation for integration with DERMS and microgrids to realize enhanced grid operation reliability and quality power delivery to consumers while also achieving the maximum energy economics from the DER and microgrid connections.

77	2018	White Paper on VPPs and DERMSs: Different Sides to the Same Coin	Asmus, Peter	Article	Active management of distribution grid		Ontario	No file uploaded.			https://www.caba.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IS-2018-325.pdf	The purpose of this white paper is to define terms such as virtual power plant (VPP) and distributed energy resources management system (DERMS) and note their similarities and differences. Navigant Research also examines how these two approaches to the management of customer-sited assets might evolve, overlap, and distinguish themselves in the future. The white paper highlights how Alectra, a public utility operating in Ontario, is exploring use cases and applications that piggyback on previous microgrids. It aims to serve as a guide for other software providers and utilities that join this journey toward squeezing the most value out of generation, load, and energy storage for prosumers, utilities, and other grid operators.

Tucson Electric Power Project RAIN		https://www.epri.com/research/products/000000003002014812	"Project RAIN — Resource Aggregation and Integration Network — is one of the first globally to explore how distributed generation and energy storage might be combined with flexible loads (such as electric vehicle chargers or smart thermostats) to respond optimally to dynamic system needs. Open standards and protocols such as SunSpec Modbus and OpenADR are being utilized in an effort to improve future system performance and reduce integration costs. Several controller vendors (both established and new entrants) were engaged in laboratory testing, though the field trial features a single control system that is coordinating DER from multiple suppliers. In this first report, findings are shared from the experimental design, laboratory testing, and initial field installation stages of the project." DERMS			Demand Response
