Parsons Corporation announced that the company has been selected by the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) to provide demand response technology, integration, and services to help manage and optimize the operation of distributed energy sources within the electrical grid. Under the contract, Parsons will provide the Demand Response Management System (DRMS) to LADWP, which will serve as key infrastructure in the utility?s drive to achieve 100 percent clean electricity by 2035 or sooner, while helping expand LADWP?s demand response capacity by more than fourfold under the five-year contract. Unlike traditional, siloed DRMS solutions, the Parsons system offers out-of-the-box interoperability in critical areas including meter data management (MDM), customer care, billing, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and automated distribution management systems (ADMS).

Parsons DRMS helps enhance grid resiliency by securely interfacing distributed energy resources with existing utility systems and legacy fuel supplies. By enabling seamless data exchange and coordination across DRMS, MDM, SCADA, ADMS, and other operational platforms, it empowers grid operators with improved situational awareness, control, and resiliency. Parsons has implemented meter and operational management integration solutions with more than 400 public power utilities across the United States.
