DERMS Market Data & Statistics

Market Dynamics

Introduction 

What is DERMS?

DERMS stands for Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems, an advanced software for managing distributed energy resources (DERs). These resources include solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage systems, and electric vehicles. The Development of new applications like integration with solar PV, wind power, and other renewable energy resources is necessitating the demand for efficient DERMS solutions. The global DERMS market is growing with the rising focus on grid modernization and energy decentralization, along with the increasing adoption of renewable energy supported by government policies and increasing awareness of renewable energy storage systems.

Market Drivers:

Increasing Adoption of Renewable Energy Supported by Government Policies:

• The increasing use of renewable energy resources for generating power is a significant factor driving the DERMS market, boosted by government regulations to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. In September 2024, the World Nuclear Association stated that over 40% of carbon dioxide emissions related to power generation are from fossil fuel consumption.
• To check the CO2 emissions, nations are moving towards renewables for power generation, heating, desalination, and clean cooking, and to support this, the integration of DERMS is also propelling. Furthermore, the International Energy Agency (IEA) stated that renewables provided 29.5% of global electricity in 2022, with a projected increase to 42% in 2028. This shift highlights the importance of efficient DERMS to manage and optimize distributed energy resources.

Increasing Awareness of Renewable Energy Storage Systems:

• The expansion of the global DERMS market is being fuelled by the growing awareness of efficient and reliable energy storage systems. The renewables, such as solar and wind energy, are gaining prominence, which in turn necessitates the need for efficient and trustworthy energy storage systems for storing excess power that is generated. 
• DERMS play a crucial role in testing and evaluating energy storage systems to make sure that they can deal with changes in charge and discharge cycles. This has led to increased focus on the design of high-capacity battery systems that can enable renewable energy integration into the grid. With energy independence and rising sustainability becoming priority areas for stakeholders, the application of DERMS is also gaining momentum, consequently driving the distributed energy resource management systems market worldwide.

Market Challenges:

Cybersecurity Challenges:

• The major challenge for the DERMS market is that they are prone to cyber vulnerabilities. According to Sophos, out 275 Cybersecurity and IT leaders from 14 different countries, working in several sectors such as energy, oil & gas, and other utilities, around 67 % of these organisations had suffered a cyberattack or ransomware within the last year.
• DERMS have an intricate communication network connected by distributed energy resources such as solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage units, and electric vehicle (EV) chargers, allowing real-time sharing of the information and its control. This poses a leverage for hackers to carry out cyberattacks, potentially threatening DERMS operations. Therefore, this causes a major obstruction in the growth of the DERMS market.

Market Opportunities:

Growing Capital Allocation for the Renewal of Ageing Energy Infrastructure:

• Growing investments towards upgrading power infrastructure are expected to create substantial opportunities for the players in the market. With growing energy needs and ageing electrical grids, governments and utilities across the globe are devoting large capital funding for upgrading power grid infrastructure to provide grid reliability, resilience, and sustainability. Classic grid systems cannot accommodate renewable generation and decentralisation of energy.
• Therefore, abundant money is being spent on sophisticated technologies such as DERMS. Moreover, the US DOE's Grid 2030 roadmap seeks to enhance electricity infrastructure, most recently funding around USD 3.5 billion on 58 projects in 44 states to increase grid reliability and resilience. Thus, increasing investments by private as well as public sectors in developing energy infrastructure can push the DERMS market significantly shortly.

Segment Analysis

By Offering Type 

“Software segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.”

• The DERMS market is segmented by offering type into software, services.
• Software segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period since software solutions are critical to the efficient management techniques, upgrades, and integration of DERs. Software solutions for DERMS allow real-time monitoring, data analysis, and control of distributed resources such as solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage systems, and electric vehicles. With the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, the integration of software offerings is becoming significant to provide robust energy systems and machine learning algorithms.
