A virtual power plant (VPP) is a system that integrates multiple, possibly heterogeneous, power resources to provide grid power. A VPP typically sells its output to an electric utility. VPPs allow energy resources that are individually too small to be of interest to a utility to aggregate and market their power. As of 2024, VPPs operated in the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. One study reported that VPPs during peak demand periods are up to 60% more cost effective t

Virtual power plant management with hybrid energy storage system
In this study, a virtual power plant comprising photovoltaics, a wind turbine, and Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) in a 14-bus microgrid was designed and investigated.
What is a virtual power plant? An energy expert explains
Virtual power plants are more resilient against service outages than large, centralized generating stations because they distribute energy resources across large areas.
