This page organizes all value streams (services) available for DERs to provide in DER-VET.

Services in DER-VET are activities the DER mix can do to generate value. Services are broken into two categories – “constraint (pre-dispatch) services” and “optimization services”.

'''Constraint''' services require fixed contributions of [[DER_VET_User_Guide/Products | products]] from the DERs to achieve. They are called “pre-dispatch” services because they are treated as a priori constraints in the optimization problem, so are effectively modeled before the operation of the DERs are known. Services relating to reliability or safety are usually in this category. These constraints are combined with all other constraints in the core [[DER_VET_User_Guide/Model_Details/Perfect_Foresight_Optimization | optimization]]

'''Optimization services''' are those where the economic value of the service and the amount the DERs participate are flexible and ultimately determined by what minimizes the net present cost of the problem. These services are usually economic in nature, like customer bill reduction services or wholesale market participation.

== Constraint Services ==
The pre-dispatch services in DER-VET are used to model scenario features that introduce operational '''requirements''' that must be satisfied (as opposed to flexible economic objectives). Before the optimization occurs, a compatibility check is performed on the constraints that model pre-dispatch services to ensure the case is feasible (i.e. no two constraints directly conflict). If conflicts occur, the user is notified of the infeasibility and the analysis halts. This check cannot catch every possible infeasibility, so some are left for the optimizer to catch, which results in a different error message.

The constraint services in DER-VET include:

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Reliability | Reliability]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Deferral| Asset Upgrade Deferral]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Demand_Response| Demand Response]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Resource_Adequacy| Resource Adequacy]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/User_Service| User-Defined Service]]

== Optimization Services ==
Optimization services are financially beneficial services for which participation is not required. Participation in these services is determined by the optimization. The optimization takes as inputs the DER mix’s technical parameters, operating constraints, prices for wholesale services, and tariff rates if the system is located behind the meter, to produce an operational profile that maximizes the combined service value and minimizes its costs.

The optimization services in DER-VET include:

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Wholesale_Energy_Time_Shift| Wholesale Energy Market Participation]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Retail_Energy_Time_Shift| Retail Energy Cost Reduction]](all systems must participate in either wholesale or retail energy services)

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Frequency_Regulation| Frequency Regulation]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Spinning_Reserves| Spinning Reserves]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Non_Spinning_Reserves| Non-Spinning Reserves]]

[[DER VET User Guide/Services/Load_Following| Load Following]]
