Software and the energy transition β’ 20 HN points β’ 29 Apr 24
- Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) use distributed energy resources like solar panels and batteries to reduce the need for traditional fossil fuel power plants during peak demand times.
- DERs can help reduce the strain on the electricity grid by offering demand reduction services and energy generation through remote, efficient control.
- Standardization and virtualization innovation are key for the future of VPPs, making communication between DERs and platforms easier and allowing for virtual upgrades to power grids.
