Grid architects needing a solution to orchestrate real‑time integration, control, analytics, and dispatch of distributed energy resources for enhanced reliability and market participation
About CGI OpenGrid DERMS
CGI OpenGrid DERMS is a distributed energy resource management solution designed to help utilities intelligently and safely integrate, orchestrate, monitor, dispatch, optimize, and settle operations involving diverse DERs across the distribution grid. Built on an API‑based, cloud‑native OpenGrid Foundation platform, it enables registration, validation, and connection of independently owned DERs alongside utility‑owned assets, providing complete visibility and control over power, Volt‑Var, and voltage at the transformer and feeder level. It supports both static and dynamic aggregation of disparate DERs, allowing utilities to develop, optimize, and dispatch coordinated schedules based on operator priorities, fault proximity, connection agreements, or financial goals. Dispatching can be manual, scheduled, event‑triggered, or imported from external systems.

e-terradistribution
GE’s Network Outage Management is a Trouble Call and Outage Management System that forms an integral part of the e-terradistribution suite of applications. It allows operators to manage unscheduled and planned network outages from within a unified operating environment that integrates Switching Operations, SCADA, Automated Metering Data, Crew Monitoring and Real-Time Network Analysis. From the initial notification of a fault through prediction, crew assignment and restoration switching to return-to-normal, the dispatcher is able to work from a single set of network views. All the necessary information for each phase of the job is clearly presented in a way that allows the dispatcher to manage each outage efficiently while also staying aware of other network activity. Grid Solutions, a GE Renewable Energy business, serves customers globally with over 13,000 employees. Grid Solutions provides power utilities and industries worldwide with equipment, systems and services.
