Intertrust Connect is a connectivity platform designed for energy ecosystems to integrate distributed energy resources (DERs). The product addresses integration challenges in energy systems by providing unified connectivity for energy devices and assets. The platform enables IT/OT convergence by bridging information technology and operational technology systems through a single solution. It supports DER orchestration for virtual power plants (VPPs), distributed energy resource management systems (DERMs), and demand response initiatives. Intertrust Connect uses Intertrust XPN technology to provide zero-trust security architecture for asset orchestration. The platform aims to reduce integration complexity by eliminating one-to-one connections with DERs and supporting common protocols. The solution provides real-time data access and control capabilities for energy assets. It is designed to scale DER integration while reducing technical overhead and operational friction. The platform offers direct connectivity to avoid third-party API aggregators and custom development requirements. Intertrust Connect targets energy ecosystem operators who need to integrate multiple distributed energy resources with security and interoperability requirements.
