The Grid Intelligence & Flexibility Forum examines how utilities translate grid intelligence and flexibility into practical distribution-system operations: DER orchestration, DERMS and grid-edge analytics. Its framing — from pilot to daily operations — is the same transition European DSOs are going through under the new EU market design rules, and it is a good place to compare how the two continents approach it.
