Virtual Power Plant

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a digital network that combines and manages various small-scale energy resources—like residential solar panels, batteries, and local generators—so they work together as if they were a single, large power plant. By coordinating these distributed sources through software, a VPP can supply electricity efficiently, balance supply and demand, and participate in energy markets. This approach enhances reliability, reduces costs, and promotes renewable energy use without needing new big power plants. Essentially, a VPP smartly integrates multiple small energy assets to optimize overall power generation and consumption.
