Virtual Power Plants – The Newest Way to Save Energy and Money

You may know about power plants, but have you heard of virtual power plants? Often referred to as VPPs, they use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cellular services to control smart devices like smart thermostats connected to HVAC systems, smart water heaters, photovoltaic solar panels, battery storage systems and EV charging stations. This network of smart devices or assets helps manage electricity demand throughout the day and avoid electric grid emergency response and use of expensive power sources when electricity demand is high.
