• Microgrids
A Microgrid is a group with clearly defined electrical boundaries of low voltage distributed energy resources (DER) and loads that can be operated in a controlled, coordinated way either connected to the main power network or in islanded mode.
Any Microgrid is ready for a Virtual Power Plant.
• Distributed energy resources
Energy active assets like renewables or storage systems connected to the grid at distribution level or on the customer’s side of the meter.
• Virtual Power Plants (VPP)
A Virtual Power Plant is an aggregated system of energy assets remotely and automatically optimized by a software-based platform.
One of the most valuable service offered by a VPP is the Demand Response.
