What is Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network of distributed energy resources (like solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles) that work together to generate, store, and distribute electricity.
VPPs help balance the grid by storing solar energy and releasing it when needed, addressing the intermittency of solar power. Using advanced software, VPPs optimize these resources to provide on demand clean energy, offering the benefits of traditional power stations without the need for large, centralized infrastructure.
What are the benefits of VPP?
Boost Efficiency
Reduce Costs
Support Sustainability
Stabilize the Grid
How does Virtual Watt VPP work?
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) connects solar PV and battery storage systems to a centralized network, allowing remote control and optimization of energy production during periods of high demand. The VPP operator trades this energy on the National Energy Market (NEM), helping balance the grid and ensuring stability, while compensating participating households for their contribution. Through intelligent management of energy generation, storage, and distribution, VPPs maximize renewable energy usage and support grid reliability.
