If the Next Box is installed on site, the plant becomes part of the Virtual Power Plant. It can now send all the data that forms the basis for calculating the optimum way it should be operated directly to our control system. Even though we are able to control the networked units via th...
What is a virtual power plant? Energy has historically been generated by a small number of large, centralized power stations often using fossil fuels like coal and gas. This energy is supplied to homes and businesses through the grid, to entire communities. But homeowners are increasingly choosing...
This model is called a virtual power plant, which the German agency explains "uses intelligent controls to aggregate electricity from its members and distribute it flexibly, mimicking a central power plant. It's the energy equivalent of drawing processing power from a network of linked-up individua...
Some of these sources, such as batteries, may deliver storedelectric power. Others may be big electricity consumers, such as factories, whose owners have agreed to cut back their power use when demand is high, freeing up energy for other customers. Virtual power sources typically are quicker to...
Using software, a virtual power plant (VPP) combines power from a number of independent sources located at numerous sites, creating a network that supplies power 24/7. Because much of the focus of virtual power plants is to provide clean energy, solar companies have opportunities in...
What is a Virtual Power Plant? Antje Golbach: How do you get your tasks? Lydia Lerche: We work with a modern ticket system. All tasks are displayed on the Kanban Board, which shows who is working on the task and what the status is. We mostly receive customer feedback about the “My...
For proponents of renewables, that surplus points the way forward. Harness surplus renewable energy, the argument goes, and bring it into the grid. Improve efficiency and lower costs with a green solution. However, power has to be fed into the grid when it is needed, and that is the downs...
Within a year or so, however, Gartner shifted the phrase to "Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations" — a subtle but powerful change in the marketing of the concept. AIOps is designed to bring the speed and accuracy of AI to IT operations.IT operations managementhas become increasingly chall...
Virtual power plant models aggregate distributed resources. Thisvalue chain restructuringtransforms thousands of small generation and storage assets into utility-scale resources. Microgrid solutions offer resilience and independence. Companies build business models around local energy autonomy, particularly valuabl...
These dashboards track the status of operations, business processes and equipment on an ongoing basis for day-to-day monitoring and management. For example, an operational dashboard might show metrics on the output of manufacturing machines to help plant managers ensure that production goals are me...
