Unlocking the Full Potential of DERs: API Integrations for DER System Interoperability

Seamless data integration is crucial for effectively managing and leveraging Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to enhance grid flexibility, operational efficiency, and customer engagement within demand response programs and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). 

Join experts from Virtual Peaker, AspenTech, and CLEAResult for a practical exploration of how utilities can strategically utilize APIs to integrate diverse DER technologies and data streams into their existing infrastructure.

Special Guest Speakers:

  • Jon Curtis, Strategic Planning Manager, AspenTech

  • Mark Foreman, Director, Distributed Energy Resources Practice, CLEAResult

  • Katarina Struckmann, API Product Manager, Virtual Peaker

  • Moderator: Jeff Quigley, SVP Customer Solutions, Virtual Peaker

Attendees will gain valuable knowledge and practical insights into:

  • The fundamental concepts of APIs and their relevance in building VPPs

  • Key considerations and best practices for successful DER integration using APIs for DER system interoperability

  • Strategies for overcoming common challenges in API integration projects

  • Combining the value of grid DERMS and behind-the-meter devices

  • The importance of data standards and interoperability in a DER-rich environment
