Distributed Energy Resource Management

BC-3840 Level 1 Power & Water Utilities 10 providers 29 API surfaces 7 rated strong or better

Onboarding, aggregation, and operational coordination of distributed energy resources connected to the distribution grid — rooftop solar, behind-the-meter storage, demand response, EV charging, and microgrids — and their participation in wholesale and flexibility markets.

Distributed Energy Resource Management (BC-3840) is a level-1 business capability in the Power & Water Utilities model. The catalog holds 29 API surface(s) from 10 provider(s) that can perform some part of it, 7 of them rated strong or better. Reach is the vendor surface that lands on this capability — it is not a claim about what any particular organisation has deployed.

Workflows that realise this capability

Arazzo workflows whose own sourceDescriptions call APIs that carry this capability. The link is derived, not asserted: each workflow declares x-realizes-capability-ids with the spec and confidence behind it.

This page carries no rating. Capabilities are not rated. A capability is a description of what a business does, not a thing a company publishes, so a Kin Score would have nothing to measure.
The edge table is a Pro feature. This page shows which providers and tags reach Distributed Energy Resource Management. The underlying tag → capability edges — each with the quoted fragment of the provider's own OpenAPI that evidences it, a calibrated confidence score, and the contract-provenance gate it passed — are available through the API, along with company-level capability maps. Only edges at confidence ≥ 0.7 with evidence found verbatim in the source contract are published at all.
