Distribution capacity management

Alleviate local grid constraints with DER orchestration

Dynamically manage DER behavior to avoid equipment overloading, prevent backfeeding, and reliably serve more load with existing infrastructure.

the probleM

As electrification progresses, distribution grids face new capacity challenges

THE CAMUS SOLUTION

Leverage DERs as distributed infrastructure to get more out of the grid

Analyze

Integrate data from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), GIS connectivity models, and DERs to map real-time capacity constraints and gain a clear view of loading on utility equipment.

Forecast

Track and predict load patterns, identifying likely overload and backfeed scenarios. Assess how proactive DER management can better balance supply and demand.

Automate

Implement automated DER dispatch strategies to ensure net demand stays within the thermal limits of critical equipment, serving more load with existing equipment.

CAPACITY-CONSTRAINED DER MANAGEMENT

Adaptive control for maximum reliability

Manage distribution network capacity with grid-aware integration of DERMS and DER aggregators, enabling seamless control and coordination to proactively mitigate local grid constraints.

INCREASE NETWORK UTILIZATION

Serve more load with existing infrastructure

Control the pace of equipment upgrades and right-size capital costs by intelligently dispatching DERs to take advantage of existing grid capacity.

PARTNERSHIPS

A flexible ecosystem of DERMS & Aggregator partners

Camus works directly with Edge DERMS third-party DER aggregator partners. Camus provides grid-aware signaling while our partners enroll, control, and integrate directly with individual devices. Together we provide comprehensive, real-time management of distribution network capacity and DER performance.

Case Study

Transformer-constrained managed EV charging

Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) launched a telematics-based managed EV charging program aimed at reducing equipment upgrades driven by EV adoption while maintaining grid reliability and providing peak demand charge savings.

customer testimonial

"This is a crucial step forward toward VEC's transition to reliable, affordable, and 100% renewable energy, allowing us to expand our EV program from strictly peak shaving to reducing infrastructure investment. The partnership with Camus enables us to maintain reliability even as we see demand rise with more EVs. This means fewer equipment upgrades and ultimately cost savings for our members."
