Edge DERMS

Edge DER management

Dispatch DER at the edge of the grid.

DER control that runs on site, keeps working when the connection drops, and reports back to the cloud when it returns.

Get Started

01 Overview

With Voltra Edge, DER control runs on site, keeps working when the connection drops, and reports back to the cloud when it returns.

Who runs it

  • Utilities
  • DER developers
  • Campuses
  • Aggregators

Used for

  • Local dispatch
  • Setpoint schedules
  • Export limits
  • Utility signals
  • Telemetry buffer
  • Fleet updates

02 Architecture

The modular energy stack

Edge DERMS is one module on a stack you can extend.

Products on top, Fabric in the middle, devices and data sources at the edge. Every product runs on the same Fabric, so a second product works from the devices and site model the first one already connected.

  1. /products

  2. /fabric

    Voltra Fabric

    The same platform under every product

    • Connect

      Devices over nine protocols, through versioned device profiles.

    • Model

      Every device and system as one vendor-agnostic graph.

    • Configure

      Devices made to work together from the model.

    • Maintain

      Connections and the model kept current as firmware and sites change.

  3. /edge

    Devices and data sources

    Connected where they are, over the protocols and formats they already use.

    • IEEE 2030.5
    • DNP3
    • Modbus
    • MQTT
    • OpenADR
    • OCPP

03 Features

Edge DERMS, feature by feature.

Offline-safe control

Schedules and limits keep running on site when the cloud connection drops.

Export & import limits

Enforce interconnection and site limits locally, in real time.

Utility interfaces

Take utility signals over IEEE 2030.5 or DNP3.

Store and forward

Telemetry buffers on site and syncs when the link returns.

Remote updates

Ship configuration and software updates to the whole fleet.

Same model as the cloud

Edge and cloud share one device model, so nothing is mapped twice.

Native integrations with the hardware you already use.

Voltra talks to devices over the protocols they already speak, so you keep the equipment you have. Each vendor below is mapped to one device model, so a new site comes online without custom integration work.

  • SMA
  • SolarEdge
  • Enphase
  • Tesla
  • BYD
  • Sungrow
  • Generac
  • SEL
  • Digi
  • Moxa

Voltra

Voltra Edge Gateway

On-site runtime that connects local devices and keeps running when the internet drops.
