Abstract

Technologies are provided for reporting, monitoring, analyzing performance of distributed energy resources (DERs). The monitoring and analysis of a DER can be performed in real-time or essentially real-time. The monitoring also can include health monitoring of a DER. The reporting of performance of a DER is configurable. The monitoring and analysis of performance of the DER also is configurable. Attributes that control the reporting, monitoring, and analysis can be interactively configured via user interfaces having one multiple control elements. Performance of a DER can be reported, monitored, and analyzed irrespective of manufacturer of the DER.
