Market Definition

A virtual power plant (VPP) is a cloud-based distributed power plant that aggregates heterogeneous distributed energy resources (DER) capacities for optimized power generation from existing sources, integration of various renewable energy sources, and, ultimately, trading or selling power in the electricity market. VPPs are networks of small energy-producing or storage devices, like solar panels and batteries, pooled together to serve the electricity grid. With their participants’ approval, their energy can be tapped by utilities during high demand or reserved for later. As a result, the desired power requirement can be met without large-scale power infrastructure upgrades. Virtual power plant solutions can be associated with concepts such as smart grid, microgrid, distributed generation, demand response, and advanced energy storage.
