DERMS / VPP Integration
Distributed energy resources are transforming the grid into a highly dynamic ecosystem where assets can consume, generate, and store energy at the same time. As rooftop solar, battery storage, electric vehicles, flexible loads, and microgrids scale from thousands to millions of assets, utilities need new ways to monitor, coordinate, and optimize them without compromising reliability or efficiency. The challenge is no longer adding distributed resources — it is orchestrating them as a controllable operational system
DERMS and Virtual Power Plants help utilities turn dispersed energy resources into coordinated flexibility — connecting visibility, control, market participation, and grid performance
Aggregate solar, batteries, flexible demand, and microgrids into virtual power plants that can support grid operations
Coordinate generation, storage, and demand to reduce congestion, manage voltage, and improve supply-demand balancing
Improve hosting capacity and reduce curtailment by making distributed resources easier to see, control, and optimize
Enable distributed assets to support demand response, flexibility services, and new revenue opportunities
How NTT DATA helps
NTT DATA helps utilities define how DERMS, VPP orchestration, ADMS, storage, flexible demand, and grid automation work together
Private LTE and 5G communications support massive device density, continuous data exchange, low-latency coordination, and reliable connectivity
Edge computing helps utilities support faster local decisions as distributed energy systems become more automated and complex
We help integrate smart inverters, battery systems, microgrids, and flexible loads into platforms that can monitor, coordinate, and optimize performance
We don’t position 5G as the objective. We use it as an enabler to scale distributed energy management where flexibility, resilience, and efficiency matter most
Renewable Hosting Capacity: 20–100% increase
Renewable Curtailment: 20–60% reduction
Grid Balancing Costs: 10–30% reduction and Network Congestion Events: 15–40% reduction
Peak Demand: 10–20% reduction, Battery Utilization: 15–40% improvement, and Flexibility Market Revenues: 5–15% increase
Scale DERMS and VPP integration with confidence
