Virtual Power Plants pull together many small components—like rooftop solar, home batteries, and smart thermostats—into a single coordinated #power system. The system responds to grid needs on demand, whether by making stored #energy available or reducing energy consumption by smart devices during peak hours. They are on the rise to meet the energy demands of the future. https://spectrum.ieee.org/virtual-power-plants-battery-tech?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline
