What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) combines decentralized energy resources—such as solar panels, battery systems, and smart appliances—into a single, orchestrated network.
It acts like a traditional power plant, but without physical infrastructure.
For a full overview, see Next Kraftwerke’s explanation.
Why Virtual-Power.net Exists
Virtual-power.net aims to guide you through the principles, systems, and impact of VPPs.
