Key Benefits
There is a wide range of benefits for high-intensity energy users in the coordination of multiple distributed energy resources within a virtual power plant network
VPP's enable deployment of optimization strategies based on organizational needs, such as
- Electricity market participation
- Reduction of CO2 emissions for ESG requirements
- Cost minimization
- Peak load reduction
- Maximize battery life
Beyond what VPP's directly do, in the bigger picture they also ensure predictable, low electricity cost. Particularly for systems that focus on making renewable sources of generation more dispatchable with energy storage systems.
Ultimately, the net impact is enabling industrial power users to produce at maximum capacity, on a 24/7. When assets and human power can be deployed at their fullest potential, economic growth and society-wide benefit can be achieved.
