Bringing it all together

The integration of distributed energy resources introduces complex, diverse connectivity options and usage scenarios to the distribution grid. Addressing the effects of EVs, fluctuating renewables, and battery storage requires smart coordination. Additionally, incorporating traditional loads into a comprehensive portfolio is crucial for sustained success in energy programs. This approach balances innovation with reliability, ensuring a robust and adaptable energy network.

Time tested and proven

Modern load control switches—with and without distributed intelligence—and smart thermostats allow cost-effective integration of basic loads such as water heaters, pumps and HVAC systems into advanced grid management scenarios, enhancing efficiency and control.
