The organization SolarPlaza is organizing an important summit on 11 –12 June in Copenhagen called the Energy Flexibility Forum that will be a platform for key stakeholders to specify their needs, showcase their solutions, find their renewed roles and collaboratively take on market and regulatory barriers to accelerate the transition towards a flexible energy system.
Oh, we can just hear the heated comments as this is YATK claim from a supposed CTK. Don’t know the new acronyms? Full English: Yet Another Tesla Killer claim from a supposed Corporate Tesla Killer. Getting to specifics, it sounds as if Audi is ready to give the Tesla Powerwall some competition.
A new residential energy storage pilot seeks to better understand how batteries installed in homes can be used at the neighborhood level by grid operators to absorb solar power generation excesses during the day and discharge them when needed later in the day.
AGL Energy’s delivery of what would be the world’s largest virtual power plant – in South Australia – looks set to come in “well ahead of schedule,” after the utility announced on Thursday that it had already sold out its first round of 150 connected battery storage systems, with 350 second-phase battery systems now up for grabs.
The team at Next Kraftwerke (NK) believes it has the keys to the electrical grid of the future — and is well on the way to bringing that vision to reality in the form of what it likes to call a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Next Kraftwerke’s VPP is essentially a widely distributed network … [continued]
The New York City utility Con Edison has hooked up with leading rooftop solar provider SunPower in a massive virtual solar power plant experiment.
Originally Published on the ECOreport Twenty homes within PowerStream’s territory have embarked upon a project that could change the face of electrical consumption in Ontario. They are taking part in a pilot project which is probably best understood as Ontario’s virtual power plant for the grid & homeowners. “This is the … [continued]
Researchers from the University of Southampton in the UK have created a method for forming virtual power plants that would effectively bring renewable energy from smaller generators into the grid. The formation of such “cooperative virtual power plants” (CVPPs) would use intelligent and multi-agent software systems and include a … [continued]
