A Day in the Life of Virtual Power Plants

Uplight, NASEO, and Advanced Energy United Virtual Power Plant Site Visit (State and Territory Energy Offices Only)

Virtual power plants (VPPs) can be an essential resource to help manage load growth, ensure grid reliability, and keep rates affordable. But there's a lot of hype surrounding VPPs today, which makes it challenging to separate fact from fiction. Uplight is one of the leading providers of technology to manage and support VPPs.

Please join Uplight and Advanced Energy United (United), in partnership with the NASEO for this "virtual site visit" to see how VPPs operate today.

This session will discuss a variety of VPP case studies, from simple single-asset aggregations to more sophisticated multi-DER aggregations, and describe the challenges and benefits of each. Speakers from Uplight will additionally answer questions from State Energy Office Directors and staff interested in exploring whether VPPs are a good fit in their jurisdiction. 

This virtual site visit will cover:

• Single-asset to multi-asset aggregations
• Systemwide and local network use cases for grid management
• Policy and regulatory best practices for VPPs
