Abstract
This thesis presents the development of the Frontend Component of a comprehensive platform
for Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) designed to manage, monitor,
and optimize distributed energy resources (DERs) effectively. As DER adoption grows, with
technologies like solar panels, electric vehicles, and smart appliances are becoming increasingly
integrated into power systems, the need for robust management platforms becomes critical. This
research introduces an innovative DERMS solution that supports cloud and on-premises
deployment and combines a map-based user interface, real-time collaboration, and custom
widget-based dashboards to empower Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and stakeholders
with enhanced data visibility and operational control.
The proposed system leverages a modular architecture to efficiently handle high-frequency,
high-volume data from diverse DERs, employing technologies such as IndexedDB for data
management, Web Workers for client-side computation, for data visualization. Key platform
components include a map interface for geospatial data visualization, a collaborative project editor
for managing grid files, and a customizable dashboard for data analysis. The platform’s security
is strengthened by a multi-tenant architecture, allowing for granular role-based data access.
Evaluations demonstrate the platform’s capacity to handle large datasets and provide timely,
accurate updates with minimal latency, supporting improved grid resilience and sustainability.
This thesis contributes to the field by addressing critical challenges in DER integration and
control, offering a scalable, adaptable solution that promotes efficient grid management for both
industry and academic research.
