Provide information about the
BESS Operator or Aggregator by completing the section below. The BESS Operator is the entity responsible for connecting the BESS equipment to the relevant DERMS provider. The BESS Aggregator is the entity responsible for the coordination of BESS participating in Active dispatch events within the Program, working as an intermediary between the DERMS and the BESS Operator.
The
BESS Operator is often the inverter manufacturer but can also be a third-party integrator such as a developer or owner-operator.
If the Applicant Company only manufactures batteries and the BESS utilizes an inverter made by a different company, you may need to coordinate with the inverter manufacturer to complete this section.
This section will determine if the BESS:
- Is capable of transmitting data to its respective DERMS platform,
- Can meet Passive Dispatch requirements, and
- Meets UL 9540 safety certification requirements.
