Energy Infrastructure
There are multiple options on how to manage distributed energy resources (DER) A virtual power plant aggregates the capacities of multiple DER of various types. This makes the production of energy more coherent and allows for efficient energy trading on the electricity market. The big advantage of a VPP is its ability to control the demand through the management of energy storage and connected devices. A VPP responds to the changing demand much faster, making the short-term deviations less frightening. It also has a strong potential to cover the constantly growing demand without unnecessarily increasing power grid capacity. To fully enjoy all the benefits of a VPP, we first need a system that is able to efficiently work with large amounts of complex data. On the other side, software highly dependent on information and data collection and processing is highly dependent. And the software can also postpone the energy supply. the entire power plant shut-down of the power plant is highly reliable and reliable and resilient to.

Researchers looked at what would be required to reliably meet demand over 20 years. They found that providing baseload power at a price comparable to a nuclear power station would require energy storage capacity costs to fall below $20 per kilowatt hour (kWh.
