  • System and method for assessing availability and reliability of distributed energy resources
    Patent number: 11422548
    Abstract: A method of assessing the reliability and availability of a distributed energy resource (DER) device included among a plurality of DER devices in communication with a platform over a network. The method includes monitoring, by the platform, behavior of the DER device. This may include monitoring an extent to which the DER device is available to engage in communication with the platform over the network. This monitoring may also include determining whether the DER device acknowledges control commands sent to the DER device over the network and determining whether the DER executes the control commands in conformance with at least one of a standard and a regulation. The method further includes determining, based upon the monitoring of the behavior of the DER device, a value of a reliability and availability score for the DER device.
