The case for virtual power plants | IEEFA
During this summer''s peak demand periods, VPPs demonstrated repeatedly that they can provide reliable power at scale to utilities and system operators when called upon.
View DetailsThe global context of VPPs is discussed and important projects are highlighted. A Virtual Power Plant (VPP), Virtual Aggregator (VA), or simply Aggregator, represents the association of several Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) orchestrated to create economic, energy, and social benefits for prosumers, energy markets, and service operators.
In the context of carbon peaking and neutralization, virtual power plants (VPPs) that aggregate distributed resources have been developed on a large scale. VPPs are related to users, various energy service providers, and other subjects; however, currently there is a lack of business models to achieve win-win benefits for all subjects.
It can provide a useful reference for the low-carbon economic operation of the power system in the future. In the context of carbon peaking and neutralization, virtual power plants (VPPs) that aggregate distributed resources have been developed on a large scale.
The 500MW virtual power plant is made up of flexibility from various assets owned by customers around the United Kingdom. This includes NHS hospitals, universities, local governments, district heating schemes, supermarkets, commercial farmers, and manufacturers.
During this summer''s peak demand periods, VPPs demonstrated repeatedly that they can provide reliable power at scale to utilities and system operators when called upon.
