AI for DER Integration

AI for DER Integration Use Cases and Market Trends across Grid Management, Demand Side Management, and Customer-Centric Segments: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts

AI techniques have been deployed in the energy industry for a variety of grid and market operations. One of the most compelling applications of AI in the energy industry is for the integration of distributed energy resources (DER). AI has proven to be a successful tool for optimizing and autonomizing decisions in real time to meet changes in the market and the demands of the grid.

As the grid becomes more dynamic and distributed, traditional methods for managing and operating the grid—such as load and generation forecasting, demand response (DR), power quality management, and voltage regulation—are not sufficient. AI solutions enable autonomous and intelligent integration of DER by incorporating real-time data on grid infrastructure, market pricing, supply, demand, load profiles, and weather forecasts. Operational technology (OT) system providers have developed AI analytics software modules and are competing in this space with utility-focused data analytics providers that offer software as a service (SaaS) solutions.

This Guidehouse Insights report provides an overview of AI capabilities for enabling DER integration, including a discussion of key industry trends, applications, market drivers and barriers, and technology considerations. Additionally, the global market forecast is broken down by application segment (grid management, demand side management, and customer-centric applications) and spending segment (software, integration and upgrade services, maintenance, and SaaS). All major global regions are included, and the forecast period extends through 2030.
