Open Standards
Customer choice is a key ingredient in successful and reliable DER programs. To achieve this, Itron’s DER Optimizer embraces open standards at its core, including OpenADR, IEEE 2030.5, and OVGIP.
Flexible Connectivity
While we all live in a world with many connectivity options and networks, Itron’s DER Optimizer leverages its AMI networks and devices to connect to DERs wherever possible, resulting in lower costs, higher availability and lower latency visibility and control. Where AMI network connectivity is not possible, DER Optimizer provides internet and cellular-based options that can seamlessly operate with AMI connected devices as one system.
Best-in-Class Security
Protecting DER control platforms from malicious cyber-attacks is a critical requirement, and Itron’s DER Optimizer delivers super-secure communications from the back office all the way down to the device circuit board.
Real-time Analytics and Optimization
Turning DERs into true grid assets requires real-time visibility and situational awareness of DER operations and grid conditions. DER Optimizer leverages native integrations with Itron’s DI platform and networks to deliver real-time DER analytics and optimization at the edge with latencies that cannot be matched through purely cloud-based solutions.

Behavior Programs
Engage your customers with incentives, data and information to drive lasting changes in customer load shapes, while gaining in-depth knowledge of DER operations and customer preferences.
System Reliability
Supplement your contingency and spinning reserves with firm load curtailment from DERs to ensure system reliability during weather- or event-driven emergencies.
Economic Dispatch
Leverage DER resources to bid energy, capacity and ancillary services into wholesale markets and produce new revenue streams for you and your customers.
Non-wires Alternatives
Use DER control to manage localized congestion on your distribution network and defer significant infrastructure investments and upgrades, increasing the DER hosting capacity without compromising reliability.
Grid Asset Protection
Protect vulnerable distribution infrastructure from dangerous over-loading and over-voltage conditions driven by DERs through real-time monitoring, situational awareness and locally optimized control.
Bring Your Own Device
Leverage customer-owned devices and provide seamless on-boarding processes to expand the DERs resources available for control without the need for field installation and inventory management.
