Distributed energy resources (DER) have traditionally been isolated. This paradigm is changing as adoption drivers grow and DER adoption becomes more evenly allocated. This allocation has resulted in new opportunities and challenges for utilities, and vendors are keenly focused on how they can participate in this changing market. As the roles of stakeholders evolve and change for all players, including the end customer, many questions remain concerning how DER can be optimally managed for utilities, policymakers, and everyone in between.
Several important trends affect the market for DER management systems (DERMSs). These stretch from baseline technical challenges to a wider discussion about policy and the emergence of new markets and business models for energy and utilities. Established IT/operational technology (OT) vendors, software specialists in other industries, and startups have approached product development from different perspectives, creating a diverse landscape of vendors in this highly competitive market.
This “Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard ” examines the strategy and execution of 13 leading vendors offering DERMSs for DER and grid management solutions. These providers are rated on 12 criteria: vision; go-to-market strategy; partners; product integration strategy; technology; geographic reach; sales, marketing, and distribution; product performance; product quality and reliability; product portfolio; pricing; and staying power. Using Guidehouse Insights' proprietary Leaderboard methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing an objective assessment of their relative strengths and weaknesses in the global DERMS market.
