What if, instead of building new peaker plants, the industry could meet our energy needs by making hundreds or thousands of DERs work together to create virtual power plants? This is the beauty of Enbala’s VPP solution. Recently ranked as the industry’s #1 VPP Software by Navigant Research, the Enbala VPP solution is focused on achieving the best possible profit for asset owners while maintaining precise supply-demand balance of the grid – and at the lowest possible environmental impact and cost.

• Aggregation and orchestration of multi-asset systems. Leverage any asset, at any time.


• Market integration and monetization. Improve market participation and ROI by integrating with wholesale markets and/or utility operations.


• Flexibility reservation. Reserve flexibility from the system for market opportunities, generation planning and renewable integration.


• Co-Optimization – Control assets in two second cycles so they be used for advanced grid services while also optimizing for end customer uses.

Enbala’s DERMS solution takes DER management to the distribution side of the grid. Because the system knows exactly where each asset is located, it can precisely target which assets to control to mitigate the challenges caused by too many renewables coming on line. This location-driven focus allows the DERMS to exercise a high degree of control over both real power (watts) and reactive power (VARs), effectively increasing hosting capacity and enabling a higher degree of renewable penetration. It's features like these that earned Enbala's DERMS the distinction of being named by Navigant Research as one of the top two DERMS providers in its 2019 Leaderboard Report.

• Locational and global optimization. Optimize a system at a very local (i.e., circuit) level or at a global (i.e., region/substation) level.


• Power and Volt/VAR control. Control for both power and voltage power system attributes.


• Response speed. Respond instantaneously to system conditions.


• Adaptable. Integrate with utility back office systems for distribution controls.

Enbala’s market analysis and planning tools provide a techno-economic assessment of DERs’ value streams. Utilities and energy retailers use these tools for accurate and effective end-customer segmentation and qualification, and as a method to evaluate investment in future DERs of optimal size and technology type.
