Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels have small supply capacities and cannot be directly integrated into wholesale markets. So, the presence of an intermediary is critical. The intermediary could be a profit-seeking…
Grid edge resources refer to distributed energy resources (DERs) located on the consumer side of the electrical grid, controlled by consumers rather than utility companies. Integrating DERs with real-time electricity pricing can better…
