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 platforms for digital building operation optimization can play a central role in this context. By collecting, analyzing, and processing real-time data, these platforms can precisely track how much energy a building generates, stores, and consumes. For example, they can determine when a building produces surplus solar energy, allowing it to store the energy locally or feed it into the grid efficiently.
