Exploring the Future of Power Distribution with DERMS Technology

On September 8, 2026, a crucial seminar titled "Addressing Distribution System Challenges with Killer Technology DERMS" will be conducted by Tadakazu Ninagawa, the CEO of N Research Institute and a former special professor at Gifu University’s Smart Grid joint research section. This event is essential for those interested in the forefront of energy technology and the transformation of power distribution.

What is DERMS?

The core of the seminar will delve into Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS), a cutting-edge software technology designed to manage the complexities arising from the proliferation of distributed power generation resources like batteries and small solar power systems. As these systems gain traction, power flow and voltage distribution within the distribution network become increasingly variable due to their decentralized nature. DERMS provides a solution by enabling smart inverters to control reactive power and aggregate these distributed resources efficiently.

Key Highlights of the Seminar

1. Near Future of Power Distribution: The seminar will discuss the trajectory of power distribution networks amidst rising renewable energy sources and the impending changes they might bring.
2. Managing Distributed Energy with DERMS:
- An in-depth introduction to what DERMS is and how it functions.
- Transforming consumer electric facilities into valuable energy resources capable of providing reactive power in real-time.
3. Global and Domestic Implementation Trends:
- A review of advanced international case studies demonstrating the practical applications of DERMS and its contribution to energy management.
- Insights into Japan’s own standards and regulatory landscape evolving for DERMS adoption.
4. Unlocking Reactive Power Service Business: Discussing the potential business opportunities that emerge through the provision of reactive power services, not just from batteries and solar cells, but also from HVAC systems and industrial pumps.
5. Q&A and Networking: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and exchange business cards, enhancing networking opportunities.

Practical Details:

• - Date & Time: September 8, 2026, from 1 PM to 3 PM JST.
• - Location: SSK Seminar Room, 4F, Zaimax Nishishinbashi Building, 2-6-2 Nishishinbashi, Minato ward, Tokyo.
• - Participation Options: Attend in person or join via live stream on Zoom. The recorded session will also be available for two weeks post-event for on-demand viewing.

This seminar aims to equip participants with the knowledge of how DERMS can reshape the future of energy management and distribution. It is an invaluable opportunity for professionals within the energy sector, policymakers, and stakeholders looking to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving energy landscape.
