In addition, VPPs are a new type of coordinated control and energy management technology that includes DER, energy storage systems (ESS), and controllable loads (CL) integrated into different energy markets [3]. Alternatively, the VPP can be used as a power supplier to sell power or as a load demander to buy power [4].
Transforming the market for virtual power plants
From the outside, the VPP looks like a single power production facility that publishes one schedule of operation and can be optimised from a single remote site. From the inside, the VPP can combine a rich diversity of independent resources into a network via the sophisticated planning, scheduling, and bidding of DER-based services. Peter Asmus
The Promise of Virtual Power Plants
Traditional power plants operate out of one physical location and work only on the supply side of the grid equation – as demand increases, the centralized physical power plants are ramped up to supply more energy. A virtual power plant, by contrast, uses its many decentralized assets in different ways to help supply meet demand.
