Current Situation
Distributed energy sources are acted on as individual sources on the grid for planning, forecasting, and operation.
Goals and Objectives
All DERs, including Demand Response, are consolidated as a single source through detailed real-time analysis of capability. The performance is based on actual source real-time data, weather, grid performance, etc. The VPP is then used on the grid or presented as a single marketable source in a potential wholesale market.
Technology Deployed
DMS, DERMS, SCADA, grid analytics, cloud
Use Case Summary
Consolidation of DERs into a single Virtual Power Plant for operations.
