Autonomous Energy Systems: Empowering Distributed Energy Resources (Text Version)

This is the text version of the video Autonomous Energy Systems: Empowering Distributed Energy Resources.

This video provides an overview of distributed energy resources and explains how to better manage energy systems.

[Music plays]

[Narrator speaks]

Our past approach to managing energy is outdated.

We need a new operating system for how energy is produced and used.

[Text on screen: Autonomous Energy Systems]

Autonomous Energy Systems is a set of controls and solutions that work for modern technology, and for all energy systems.

It provides real-time methods to manage power flow and optimize the way energy is created, stored, and consumed.

This is how we can realistically connect millions of new devices, survive severe disruptions, and conserve energy.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory can validate these real-time control methods in the lab, so that communities, utilities, and product designers can take them live with less risk and unlock the value of new energy opportunities.
