Energy aggregators are licensed by the ISOs & RTOs and individual utility companies to help bring demand response (DR) to the energy marketplace.

Challenges Faced by Energy Aggregators Today

Aggregators are gaining steam in the demand response marketplace. They aggregate energy across distributed organizations in order to establish a “virtual grid” where a known amount of energy is available for curtailment. Aggregators reap the associated energy credits available for being on stand-by and reducing customer load when an “event” is called. As the amount of customers increase in this arena, aggregators will need to implement a less manual and more scale-able, automated approach to controlling their customer facilities.

Value of Verisae Smart Grid Platform to Energy Aggregators

Verisae provides the automated demand response (DR) software so they do not need to build it. Verisae also has a large, established customer base that Aggregators may seek an introduction.

Scenario of Smart Grid Use by Energy Aggregators

  • Automate demand response (DR) events to enable virtual grid management
  • Reduction of market settlement after the completion of demand response (DR) event
  • Enablement of known energy reserves that are available for resale when requested
  • Closer partnerships with RTOs, utility companies, and energy customers through optimized operations which leads to lower costs
