What Is a Virtual Power Plant and How Does It Work?

What Is a Virtual Power Plant? A virtual power plant (VPP) is a network of smaller energy generating and storage devices, like solar panels and battery systems, that are combined to boost the power of the electrical grid. VPPs can supply additional power when the electrical grid is strained or can store excess solar and wind energy for later use.
