Transcript. Stephen Lacey: In the clean energy world, it seems like everyone is talking about virtual power plants right now. But the concept dates back almost thirty years – to the late 1990s – when an energy economist outlined how a "virtual utility" could flexibly integrate distributed resources from third-parties for the benefit of the grid.
The prologue to this creative endeavor creates the opportunity for the most recent smart energy system trademark, the Virtual Power Plant (VPP), that ingeniously …
Virtual power plants (VPPs) coordinate distributed resources and demand for a more resilient, cost-effective energy transition. And they are gaining traction in the United States.
Virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective technology form to aggregate the distributed energy resources (DERs), which include distributed generation (DG), energy storage (ES) and demand response (DR).
