The Connected Grid: Orchestrating DERs for a Flexible Energy Future

The rapid growth of distributed energy resources—including solar, battery storage, EVs, smart appliances, and connected energy devices—is transforming how energy is generated, managed, and consumed. Utilities and energy providers are increasingly looking beyond individual assets toward connected platforms that can aggregate and coordinate resources to support grid reliability and flexibility.

This session explores the technologies, partnerships, and market models enabling a more connected and distributed grid. Panelists discuss the evolution of DER management and virtual power plants, the challenges of interoperability and orchestration, and how utilities, aggregators, automakers, energy providers, and technology companies can unlock greater value from distributed assets.

Key discussion points:

The expanding role of solar, storage, EVs, and flexible loads as grid resources
How DERMS, VPPs, and grid-edge intelligence are enabling aggregation and orchestration
Interoperability and integration challenges across devices, platforms, and utility systems
New partnerships among utilities, aggregators, automakers, OEMs, and energy technology providers
Business and regulatory models that can scale DER participation while delivering measurable grid value
