The Distributed Energy Resource Risk Manager
The Distributed Energy Resource Risk Manager is an assessment and mitigation framework developed by NREL to help organizations identify and manage risks across the lifecycle of DER projects. The tool addresses technical, operational, financial, and cybersecurity risks through a series of modules and checklists that guide users in evaluating project design, deployment, and operation. It provides risk ratings, recommends mitigation strategies, and links to relevant standards and best practices. Utilities, developers, and facility managers can use the tool to enhance the reliability and security of their DER deployments.
