Connected Energy offers CNRG DERMS, the hi-definition, intelligent, flexible, grid-edge DERMS platform.  It is deployed in utilities of all sizes to orchestrate diverse DERMs including Ag Pumps, Smart Thermostats, EVs, solar, storage, and HVAC.  It offers real-time metrics at every point in the grid all the way to each premises which allows for precise forecasting and control.  Reduce the peak, ride the load curve or, limit load at any portion of the grid.  Create flexible, multi-level programs to mold the load curve in a precise manner to maximize resource benefits.  Use advanced algorithms with real-time feedback to optimize the contribution of each resource.

CNRG Data Analytics is a full-service platform for all data needs.  It includes granular access to detailed metrics at each premises for detailed visibility into each program participant.   Aggregate and filter in near limitless ways to view grid activity.  Advanced reporting provides all the necessary information for program validation, incentive processing, and device management.  The Data Analytics platform is self-learning and reports device anomalies, identifying free-loaders and tampered or malfunctioning equipment.  Leverage Machine Learning tools including neural networks, decision trees, clustering, and traditional algorithm to produce optimize programs, events, and forecasts.  All data is available to utility and is utility-owned.

The CNRG Program Manager portal ensures program success by targeting the best program candidates to meet overall program objectives.  The platform performs complete 360 customer management including: recruitment, contracting, installation, participation, support, and incentive processing.

Increase program reach and longevity of participation by providing value beyond cash incentives or billing credits by giving participant’s their own portals and applications that increase the value of their resources.  A Farmer Portal provides a light-weight irrigation management platform for growers to view pump status and remotely operate pumps.  A Residential Portal allows homeowners to view their resources and participate in events.  An Enrollment Portal offer easy recruiting and onboarding of program participants.

The unique Measurement and Verification (M&V) provide in our DERMS platform allows for rock-solid, passage of third-party, program auditors.  The M&V is provided at each end-point and reflects the unique characteristics of that resource at any location.  Home thermal profiles can be created to accurately forecast the curve at any point in the grid on any given day.

Connected Energy has worked with utilities to develop advanced algorithms to create maximum program value.  The Maximum Sustained Yield (MSY) algorithm allows thermostats to participate in long running events without the need for manual grouping or predetermined programs.  The Air Conditioning Adaptive Algorithm (ACAA) ensures that each participant contributed maximally and fairly regardless of home profile or HVAC size.  The Power Factor Adjustment (PFA) algorithm leverages a combination of sensors and smart0invertors to maintain Power Factor objectives.
