A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a system that aggregates various distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage, and demand response capabilities, to function as a single, flexible energy provider. The VPP optimizes the generation and consumption of energy across these resources, allowing for efficient management and distribution while maintaining grid stability. By coordinating disparate energy sources and loads, a VPP can respond to grid demands, provide ancillary services, and offer energy trading capabilities, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable energy ecosystem. VPPs leverage advanced software, communication technologies, and real-time data analytics to monitor and control the aggregated resources, thus enhancing energy efficiency and supporting the integration of renewable energy into the grid.
En el último siglo, la imagen predominante de las plantas de energía se ha caracterizado por sus imponentes chimeneas, trenes interminables de carbón y turbinas giratorias ruidosas. Pero las plantas…
