Virtual power plant is a power plant based on software instead of physical factory. VPP connects many DERs to form an energy network. Meanwhile, it allows bi-directional power flow between utility, commercial as well as residential end users. Not only helping end users make profit by feeding their renewable energy into the network, VPP also …
A Distributed Energy Resource (DER) is any resource on the distribution system that produces electricity. To make it simply, if you have installed a renewable energy generator in your house, your house has automatically become a DER. Distributed energy resources include the following types of embedded generators: Turbines-Gas, Wind, Hydro-electric Solar Photovoltaic(PV) System Diesel or …
