Loop VPP: Origin Energy''s Virtual Power Plant
Think of the Loop virtual power plant (VPP) as a new, technology-centred energy grid. It uses its smarts to assess when energy is most needed. Then, it coordinates thousands of energy assets to work together like a mini power station to manage supply and demand. Your home solar battery is one of these assets, and is an important source of
How does a virtual power plant for the home work?
Additionally, the virtual power plant can also sell excess energy back to the grid during times of low demand. The key advantage of virtual power plants is that they can help to improve the efficiency of the electricity grid by reducing the need for large, centralized power plants and by increasing the use of renewable energy sources.
