Distributed Energy Resources
The goal of Rakon Energy’s work is to push the envelope on Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 2222 to enable DERs and advanced demand response (auto DR), and Order 841 to enable Electric Storage Resources to participate in independent wholesale electric markets in a full, fair, and openly transparent manner through the use of 3rd party aggregators.
Aggregated DERs have multiple grid benefits, including responding quickly to grid emergencies and preventing blackouts.
