To meet evolving grid needs, utilities need to dispatch DERs by precise grid locations, rate plans, or customer behavior — but legacy bulk grouping strategies make this complex and time-consuming. Flexible grouping strategies transform DER management by allowing devices to be grouped based on any combination of attributes like substation, rate code, or customer behavior. Devices are automatically included when data changes, and post-event analysis allows granular reporting (e.g., by feeder or customer type). In this session, hear results from early phases of this strategy from EnergyHub’s 2025 locational dispatch pilots and learn how attribute-based grouping enables advanced grid strategies, personalized customer events, and dramatically reduces operational burden.
