Sunshine or Shade—Do you know when or where?
Most utilities are reticent to integrate BTM telemetry with control room systems because it violates the ‘airgap’ principle for mission-critical Operations Technology (OT). But acquiring real-time PV generation data and integrating it into utility and new energy aggregators operations is a critical need for the effective integration of DER into grid operations for flexibility and resilience. The ‘Virtual Airgap’ concept is a cloud-based integration layer that decouples PV data collection from OT systems like EMS or ADMS.
The BetterGrids Foundation will host this Webinar on The Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) funded project—(PIVA) PV Integration using a Virtual Airgap.
