As distributed energy resources (DERs) rapidly grow, utilities face challenges in measuring their impacts on the grid. Current data inadequacy hinders effective planning, necessitating standardized, meter-based measurement approaches to assess combined effects of DERs a…

Demand response (DR) is vital for managing peak demand as utility infrastructure ages. However, delayed performance insights hinder effective adjustments. Timely data can enhance DR’s reliability, allowing utilities to optimize resources and improve forecasting while …
Demand-side measures are faster and cheaper than new generation, offering utilities effective energy savings and flexibility. However, inconsistent performance measurement and undervaluation hinder their potential. A framework for real-time insights and portfolio-wide v…
Last year, Recurve began a new chapter. With new leadership and a sharper focus, we built on our proven software foundation to give utilities and their partners what they’ve been asking for: a platform that is faster, more flexible, and dependable when performance mat…
AMI 2.0 is coming, but the grid can’t wait. Utilities can unlock measurable demand flexibility today by putting AMI 1.0 data to work—building trust now and strengthening the case for tomorrow’s investment.
A recent report demonstrated high levels of support among customers and market aggregators for a new delivery model for demand flexibility. California’s statewide Market Access Program (MAP), which utilizes an open-market program design, posted…
…and it’s only getting more complex, with no end in sight. It’s time to embrace the “distributed” in Distributed Energy Resources. “The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.” ― Andrew S. Tanenbaum Distributed…
Demand response is like a peak power plant. Energy efficiency is load following. Virtual power plants include both. Effectively integrating distributed assets into the energy supply mix requires understanding how they are analogous to traditional supply. …
