A virtual power plant (VPP), as a combination of dispersed generator units, controllable load and energy storage system (ESS), provides an efficient solution for energy management and scheduling, so as to reduce the cost and network impact caused by the load spikes.
Governments and private companies alike are now counting on VPPs’ potential to help keep costs down and stop the grid from becoming overburdened. Here’s what you need to know about VPPs—and why they could be the key to helping us bring more clean power and energy storage online. What are virtual power plants and how do they work?
With the continuous promotion of the construction of the new power systems with new energy as the main body, energy storage technology will play a more important role in promoting the consumption of renewable energy, peak-shaving and valley-filling, and enhancing the stable and reliable operation of the power grid.
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) presents new opportunities for these plants. EVs can act as mobile energy storage units, providing additional flexibility to the grid. By integrating EVs into VPPs, utilities can manage charging patterns, balance supply and demand, and support the integration of renewable energy.
A virtual power plant is a system of distributed energy resources—like rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle chargers, and smart water heaters—that work together to balance energy supply and demand on a large scale. They are usually run by local utility companies who oversee this balancing act.
