Performance of virtual power plant (VPP) in 2022. The BESS and VPP concepts are considered important in electrical systems. These new approaches were referenced and exploited in terms of their ability to address grid intermittency issues. Similarly, the BESS was proposed to increase the performance and economic viability if it is operated by a VPP.
Smart grids, which use digital communications technology to detect and react to local changes in usage, offer a natural complement to VPPs. Together, they can enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of the energy system.
Looking ahead, the continued evolution of VPP technology and its integration with smart grid initiatives will be key. Smart grids, which use digital communications technology to detect and react to local changes in usage, offer a natural complement to VPPs.
