Utility-Aggregator coordination

Coordinate to protect the grid

Seamlessly communicate safe operating requirements to third-party DER aggregators and avoid overloading, backfeeding, and other reliability concerns.

the probleM

Third-party DER management can create severe reliability challenges for grid operators

THE CAMUS SOLUTION

Ensure DER dispatch remains within safe grid operating limits

Analyze

Generate safe operating envelopes based on forecasted loading and grid constraints. Operating envelopes keep the grid stable by defining the dispatch limits for individual DERs based on forecasted available capacity of upline equipment.

Communicate

Prevent disruptions and increase efficiency by automatically sharing operating envelopes with third-party DER aggregators, empowering them to optimize their resources without exceeding the grid's capacity.

Verify

Receive and assess DER telemetry to track compliance with operating envelopes. This device-level data lets utilities monitor real-time behavior, audit historical performance and inform future coordination with aggregators.

AUTONOMOUS INTERACTION

Seamlessly coordinate with third-party aggregators

We‚Äôre deploying the first scalable platform for coordination between utilities and DER aggregators, partnering with leading utilities and aggregators to create an extension of IEEE 2030.5 that simplifies DER aggregator and utility collaboration.

SIMPLIFY REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Comply with FERC 2222 without compromising reliability

Generating safe operating envelopes and communicating them to aggregators protects the distribution grid while ensuring individual DER owners can participate in wholesale markets. This simple, repeatable framework ensures utilities and third-party aggregators can coordinate effectively for the long-term strength of the grid.
