Energy Transition Theater: Leveraging Underutilized DER Edge Compute to Improve Market Efficiencies

Joel Santisteban discusses how Ecosuite contributes to open edge compute framework to deploy trained models at the grid edge, with the goal of optimizing preventative maintenance schedules for commercial and industrial (C&I) DERs. As DER orchestration proves to be one of the most practical and cost effective solutions for tackling the effects of climate change, the management of DERs will need to scale appropriately. SolarQuant aims to leverage edge compute capabilities by dovetailing recent advances in machine learning (ML) and to assist asset managers with increased visibility of their rapidly growing and evolving heterogeneous fleets.
