I'm curious about how a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) operates. Could someone explain the mechanisms behind it, including how it aggregates distributed energy resources and optimizes their output for grid stability and efficiency?

    The VPP allows for the collective use of these stored energy resources.

    A virtual power plant (VPP) operates by integrating individual home batteries into a cohesive network.

    By doing so, the VPP facilitates the injection of renewable energy into the grid.

    The renewable energy is typically generated from rooftop solar panels and stored in solar batteries.
