A virtual power plant (VPP) is a network of decentralized, distributed energy sources such as solar, wind, and biogas plants, energy storage systems, and flexible power consumers, coordinated and controlled by a central control unit. The goal is to aggregate the generation capacities of these units and operate them as a single power plant. By balancing the fluctuating feed-in of renewable energy sources and improving grid stability, virtual power plants contribute to a more efficient and reliable energy supply in the smart grid. Additionally, they promote the decentralization of energy generation, enhancing grid resilience and reducing reliance on large centralized power plants. Through Demand Side Management, market participants can optimize this flexibility to reduce energy consumption during peak demand or increase it during periods of surplus energy. Another key function of virtual power plants is enabling producers to market the self-generated electricity of connected producers.
Cloud-based solutions such as aedifion.dynamics can play a central role here. By capturing, analyzing, and processing real-time data, it becomes possible to accurately track how much energy a building generates, stores, and consumes.The platform can, for example, detect when a building is producing surplus solar energy and determine whether it should be stored locally or fed into the grid.
In a one-on-one meeting, we will clarify your specific requirements and demonstrate howour AI-based cloud solutions and service packages can benefit you.
