Abstract

Distributed energy resources are validated by dispatching a distributed energy resources individually in known ambient conditions and monitoring the particular effect of dispatch to then establish a database of performance for multiple different distributed energy resources. The distributed energy resources can be permanently monitored to further build up this database and to verify that the distributed energy resource is performing consistent with its validation or other expected performance. Distributed energy resources of a slow responding variety and a fast responding variety can be paired together and dispatched together, so that the paired fast responding and slow responding distributed energy resources mimic a large fast responding distributed energy resource. The benefits of a high capacity fast responding distributed energy resource is thus provided, such as for the load shedding and grid support benefits thereof.
