Overview Virtual Power Plant
  • Everything has to change with the changing world,
    and a power plant is not an exception to it.
  • When the global energy market is going through a
    transformation, it is high time we should move
    from the conventional model of centralized
    electricity generation.
  • The shift has to be towards a mixture of
    decentralized model and renewable energy
    production at smaller units.
  • Small companies or even households might own
    these small production houses. They will be
    called prosumers a new term coined by joining
    two words-producer and consumer.
  • Isnt it a paradigm shift? Indeed, it is. Lets
    understand the VPP model.

What is Virtual Power Plant?
  • As the non-conventional renewable energy
    generation penetrates further, it challenges the
    traditional way of operating the electricity
    system.
  • It forces the reinvention and redesign of grids.
    Renewable energy sources such as sun and wind
    dont endanger the system balance if they are
    dealt appropriately.
  • Here comes the role of Virtual Power Plant! Here
    are some salient points of VPP.
  • It is a collection of decentralized units in a
    power network linked and operated by a
    centralized, single control system.
  • The individual units can be power producers,
    power storage units, power consumers, or
    power-to-X plants.

  • The flexibility and power of the aggregated
    assets are collectively traded when the assets
    are integrated into a VPP.
  • It gives the opportunity to the smaller units to
    access the energy market.
  • Any decentralized unit can become VPP regardless
    of whether it is a producer, storage, or consumer
    unit.
  • The central control system uses an algorithm to
    adjust the balancing reserve commands. It is
    similar to the large conventional power plants.
  • VPP can quickly and efficiently react to trading
    power. It can adjust the plant operations as per
    price signals received from power exchange.

It is a flexible model
  • The biggest strength of VPP is its flexibility.
    It can balance the grid very fast. Hence, it is
    considered a versatile and swift model. In fact,
    it is the distinctive quality of Virtual Power
    Plant to a conventional power plant.
  • A VPP model well utilizes the aggregated power to
    react to variations of the power price on the
    exchange. Thus, it can execute trades fast.
  • The rates keep on changingmany times in a day on
    power exchanges. In the case of VPP, even the
    difference of three digits per megawatt makes
    hardly any difference.
  • All these things make VPP the power model of
    tomorrow.
