The UAE and Saudi Arabia are expected to lead the market for distributed energy, with Oman set to emerge as the fastest-growing market in the Gulf region.

Market Dynamics
Growth Adoption of Renewable Energy
The growing adoption of renewable energy to mitigate climate change impact has been advantageous for the adoption of DERMS. It is mainly being adopted for solar energy and wind energy projects. Wind power is intermittent; therefore, power management systems such as DERMS are used to match generation and demand. DERMS also considers weather forecasting to predict variance in power generation to ensure a stable energy supply.

With the proliferation of solar energy-based microgrids, companies are deploying distributed energy resources management systems (DERMS) to ensure optimal usage of generated solar power. For instance, in August 2022, Horizon Power announced plans to integrate DERMS technology across its solar-based microgrids in Western Australia.

Grid-connected solar power projects are adopting DERMS to ensure reliability and stability. For example, in August 2022, Generac Grid Services signed an agreement with Dominion Energy, a renewable energy producer based in Virginia, U.S., to integrate its proprietary DERMS technology with the company’s grid-connected solar power plants and energy storage systems.

Growing Investment in Smart Grid Technologies
Many countries, regional authorities and global firms are divesting resources and vigorously promoting policies encouraging investment in distributed energy resources (DERs) and smart grid technologies. It is recognized that the infrastructure for producing and delivering power is outdated and needs to be upgraded significantly in order to keep pace with growing global energy demand.

The investments in smart grid technologies are being made to strengthen the grid's dependability and resilience, reduce consumer prices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. Therefore, it is concluded that the growing environmental and sustainability awareness could be a major market driver for the global distributed energy resources management systems market.

Cybersecurity Concerns
The DERMS utilizes advanced technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), automated control, energy storage and demand management. Data from the systems is gathered for analysis and management. The information is susceptible to hacking attempts and data breaches. The cost of the management systems is increased by the significant investments made in data breach prevention and cyber protection.

Many operators in developing and underdeveloped countries lack adequate cybersecurity measures to protect against vulnerabilities of the DERMS. Furthermore, these countries cannot afford to undertake the high capital expenditures for obtaining and installing necessary protections. It limits the adoption of DERMS by emerging countries and thus constraints global market growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The supply-chain bottlenecks brought on by the shutdowns due to the pandemic have underlined the need to diversify to lessen reliance on one particular system. Decentralized and controllable DES power generating and storage solutions can offer end users local resilience or complete independence from the grid for their energy demands, with financial benefits. Distributed energy resources management system solutions can strengthen the power supply, especially by using the data produced by DERs.

Further, one of the advantage of the pandemic has been the acceleration of society’s adoption of digitization and will have a major impact on distributed energy resource management systems. The growing adoption of digital technologies across various industries will open up new opportunities for the DERMS market in the post-pandemic period.

AI Impact Analysis
The inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) will enable DERMS to integrate distributed energy resources seamlessly into the existing power grid. By proactively managing the fluctuating supply and demand, AI-integrated DERMS can help to maintain grid stability, mitigate fluctuations and avoid anomalies in the energy transmission networks.

Advanced big data algorithms can be utilized by DERMS operators to analyze consumer behavior patterns and historical data in order to optimize demand response strategies. By incentivizing consumers to adjust their energy consumption during peak demand periods, these algorithms can reduce strain on the grid and prevent blackouts, thus promoting a more reliable and resilient energy system.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis
Sustained attacks by Russia on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure over the course of the war has led to blackouts and energy shortfalls. To preserve the stability and integrity of the remaining grid and to ensure continuation of critical functions, the Ukrainian government has adopted DERMS with financial aid from various western governments.

The adoption of DERMS by various European countries is also likely to increase over the medium term in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war. In retaliation for the severe economic sanctions imposed on it, Russia cut off gas supplies to Europe, triggering an energy crisis. The adoption of DERMS is meant to enhance grid stability and prevent blackouts.

Segment Analysis
The global distributed energy resources management system (DERMS) market is segmented based on technology, end-user and region.

Falling Costs and Increasing Adoption by Developing Countries is Propelling Growth of Solar PVs

Solar photovoltaics (PVs) account for half of the global market. Solar energy utilization has been increasing in recent years, mainly due to the ongoing global shift toward renewable energy and mitigating the effects of climate change. One of the major factors in the growth of solar PV has been the falling prices of solar cells due to strong supply chains and economies of scale. It has resulted in dropping the price of solar energy production to nearly US$ 0.06-0.08 per kWh in 2022.

Many countries, especially those in the emerging regions of Africa and Asia-Pacific, are constructing major solar energy plants with assistance from global NGOs and developmental organizations. Furthermore, the developed regions of Europe and North America are also constructing solar power plants to decarbonize their energy production.

Geographical Analysis
Growing DERMS Adoption by China will Propel Market Growth in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific accounts for roughly a third of the global market. China has been at the forefront of DERMS adoption. China started its DES research and development quite late compared to developed nations. However, DES, particularly gasfired CCHP systems combined with renewable energy, are rising rapidly in China due to high energy demands and excessive air pollution. Additionally, rising economic expansion has huge market potential in the building and industrial applications.

Furthermore, along with the general public and academics, the Chinese government has recently become considerably more aware of the significance of DES. It anticipates that it will reduce peak power consumption, improve the energy structure and preserve the environment. Moreover, China has released several regulations, rules, relevant laws and criteria to encourage the development of DES to address the rising demand for primary energy. Thus growing government support in boosting DES development has encouraged the key players to build the DES management system, DERMS, to make the overall process easy and efficient.
