Virtual power plants, or VPPs, are networks of distributed energy resources — like home batteries, electric water heaters, or heat pumps — that can help the grid. They can manage energy demand, such as by adjusting smart thermostats during peak hours. Some can also supply power to the grid, by drawing from home or even EV batteries. In Germany, more than 144,000 of its home batteries automatically dispatch daily to help stabilize and bolster the grid in real time. All of the enthusiasm around revolutionizing its energy system, Puerto Rico is primed for a similarly advanced system.

Renew Home Launches America’s Largest Residential Virtual Power Plant in Collaboration with Google’s Nest Renew and OhmConnect A groundbreaking collaboration between Google’s Nest Renew service and OhmConnect has led to the launch of Renew Home, America’s largest residential virtual power plant (VPP). This innovative venture aims to unite millions of customers nationwide, offering grid stabilization and reduced home energy costs. Renew Home already controls nearly 3GW of electrical energy use and has ambitious plans to expand to 50GW by 2030, constituting approximately 25% of the total VPP growth forecasted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE projects that by tripling the scale of VPPs, we could meet 10-20% of peak electricity demand by 2030, potentially […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dCmUtcGB #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #middleeast #africa #india #asiapacific #asia #america #doe #northamerica #renewhome #rooftopsolar #vpp

The traditional electricity grid is undergoing a fundamental shift as distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar panels, batteries, and smart appliances proliferate. Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are at the forefront of this transformation. A VPP is a cloud-based network that intelligently links DERs, allowing them to collectively function as a distributed power plant. This can provide crucial grid services like frequency regulation and voltage support https://lnkd.in/gZ2sCKXQ

APsystems unveils home solar and energy storage power control system Chinese power electronics provider APsystems announced the release of a new power control system (PCS). The new model, ELS 11.4k PCS, offers increased nominal and peak backup power over previous models. The PCS also adds a generator connectivity feature, allowing the homeowner to integrate generators to work alongside their home solar and energy storage systems. The PCS offers a nominal power rating of up to 11,400 VA and peak backup power of up to 17,100 VA for 10 seconds. This allows the device to support more loads, supporting energy security in both everyday use and critical backup situations. The PCS supports homeowners, flexibly allowing for backup power, self-consumption, and time-of-use applications. APsystems operates globally with offices in Austin, Texas; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Lyon, France; Guadalajara, Mexico; São Paulo, Brazil; Jiaxing and Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia. APsystems includes the APsmart and APstorage brands and serves customers in over 100 countries. Founded in 2010, the company reports it has sold millions of units generating over 6 TWh of clean energy. #energy #electricity #power #windpower #electricpower #transmission #electricenergy Source: https://lnkd.in/gbUJw_Et

🔋 How Does a Home Energy Storage System Work? 🔋 Ever wondered how a home energy storage system actually works? Here’s a quick breakdown: 1.  Solar Panels Capture Energy: During the day, solar panels on your roof convert sunlight into electricity. 2.  Energy is Stored: Instead of sending all that energy to the grid, it’s stored in a home energy storage battery. This allows you to use it later when the sun isn’t shining. 3.  Powering Your Home: The stored energy is then used to power your home, reducing your reliance on the grid. Whether it’s keeping your lights on during the evening or powering your appliances during a blackout, the system ensures you have electricity when you need it. 4.  Smart Management: The system can intelligently manage when to store energy and when to use it, maximizing efficiency and savings. 🚀 Why It Matters: Understanding this process shows just how powerful and flexible a home energy storage system can be. It’s not just about storing energy—it’s about gaining control, saving money, and contributing to a more sustainable future. #HomeEnergy #EnergyStorage #SolarPower #SmartHome #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy

The US #battery market is growing faster than ever. According to Canary Media Inc., overall storage installations, including utility-scale, home, and commercial, grew 84% in Q1 this year alone. This growth means that batteries are becoming an increasingly meaningful resource available to support the grid. That is, if those batteries can be harnessed and orchestrated appropriately. The reality is that it is difficult to integrate and connect to all of these batteries in order to allow this distributed storage to benefit the grid. The consumer battery industry is getting more fragmented not less. More choice is great for consumers, but it’s difficult for utilities, DERMS companies, and VPP providers to keep up. New manufacturers means new, bespoke integrations that are required to harness these resources to benefit the grid. Canary Media reported last year on all the new activity in the space: https://lnkd.in/ej-RgPa5 And Wood Mackenzie highlighted how quickly this space is changing in their report from 2023 where they noted that, in 2018, Tesla and LG made up 96% of residential solar-plus-storage projects, but in 2023 they only made up 65% of installations. Derapi’s universal API solves this integration problem for DERMS companies, VPP providers, and anyone trying to connect to batteries for dispatch or data. With one integration to Derapi, you can uniformly control and request data from a variety of battery manufacturers.
