Overcoming DER Challenges to Implement Next Gen VPPs

WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour​ ​

​ The U.S. Department of Energy hopes the country will triple the current scale of virtual power plants (VPPs) by 2030. However, to date, the lack of predictability and control is why VPPs have primarily only been used as a last resort for demand response. For VPPs to play a larger role in supporting the grid and decarbonization efforts, grid operators must learn to trust in the services VPPs can provide. Next-generation VPPs will give grid operators the visibility, predictability and granular control they need to develop that trust.

Join us as we delve into the transformative potential of Next-Generation Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) in increasing DER value and enhancing operational efficiency, through:

• Overcoming program siloes, meeting purchasing and regulatory needs
• Ease transmission and distribution strain, boost system infrastructure
• Ensure modeling and predicting accuracy, maximizing reliable value
• Finding value in Grid-Edge DERMS in addition to Grid DERMS
