Schneider Electric Optimizes Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Management with Grid to Prosumer End-to-End Approach

BOSTON, MA, May 23rd, 2022Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced Grid to Prosumer, an end-to-end approach to DER management to maximize the connection and value of renewable energy, energy storage and electric vehicles.

Grid modernization is increasingly about managing supply and demand at the grid edge, spanning both sides of the customer meter. It requires new ways to engage, plan and design, optimize and maintain, analyze and automate, all with a stepwise, coordinated approach. Schneider Electric’s new Grid to Prosumer approach helps manage the lifecycle of DER management with simple to complex workflows and use cases that optimize DER across energy market needs, grid constraint requirements and prosumer priorities.

Schneider Electric has also expanded its EcoStruxure Grid portfolio for Grids of the Future with strategic partners AutoGrid for flexibility services and Virtual Power Plants, and Uplight for prosumer engagement and demand-side management. With this continued focus toward solving the challenges the industry faces, the Grid to Prosumer approach offers an end-to-end solution to DER management that coordinates across business functions with a comprehensive view of grid data management that is value-based and use-case driven.

“Schneider Electric recognizes that as the complexity of grid management rises, the more crucial it becomes to address utility challenges holistically,” said Scott Koehler, Vice President, Global Strategy for Digital Grids at Schneider Electric. “Backed by a comprehensive portfolio of solutions driving our vision for Grids of the Future, the Grid to Prosumer approach addresses the needs of supply and demand to serve utilities and prosumers with more flexible and scalable options for a more reliable, efficient, sustainable and flexible grid.”

End-to-end Integrated DER Management Approach

EcoStruxure Grid integrated solutions for Grids of the Future directly supporting the Grid to Prosumer approach include EcoStruxure™ DERMS for grid optimization, AutoGrid Flex for flexibility services and Virtual Power Plants, Uplight Orchestrated Energy and Energy Profiler Online for prosumer engagement and demand-side management, and EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor for microgrid management.

Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Grid solution portfolio for Grids of the Future demonstrates the company’s commitment to a more digital and electric world, and together with the Grid to Prosumer approach supports the growth of distributed energy resources, microgrids, energy communities, and other flexible resources across digitally planned, designed and operated lifecycles.
