Virtual Power Stations
Digitalisation solutions enable the efficient controlling, monitoring, and integration of decentralised energy generation and storage systems in virtual power plants.
Application areas – Data integration, control, and communication
Virtual power plants and digitalisation are closely linked. In combination, they are key to the transformation of the energy market. Rapid market growth, however, is giving rise to some very specific challenges for virtual power plants. This is where our digital solutions can create market value. Below are just a few of the implementation scenarios:
Data integration and analysis
By their very nature, virtual power stations rely on the integration of data from a variety of energy generation and consumption sources. Digitalisation allows the capture and analysis of this data in real time – which, in turn, enables optimum control and usage of the available energy sources.
Control and automation
Virtual power plants use digital control systems to coordinate their various energy generation and storage systems efficiently. These control systems enable the plants to react rapidly to changing market conditions and demand profiles.
Communication and networking
Digitalisation allows the networking of decentralised energy generation systems, storage systems, and consumers via the Internet of Things (IoT). This enables efficient communication and coordination between the various components of a virtual power station and the wider supply system.
Energy management software
Digitalisation has enabled the development of forward-looking energy management software to optimise the performance of virtual power plants. These software solutions predict energy generation and consumption and monitor the flow of energy in real time.
Market integration
Digital platforms and marketplaces enable virtual power plants to offer and trade their power on the energy markets. Digitalisation creates transparency in markets and enables efficient price setting.
Flexibility and openness to new technologies
Virtual power stations must be able to adapt to changing market conditions and technological developments. Digitalisation enables the rapid integration of new technologies and business models.
Customer participation
Digital platforms create opportunities for end customers to become involved in virtual power plants. Consumers can add their decentralised energy generation systems and storage devices to virtual power plants and benefit from the revenue they generate.
Digitalisation, therefore, contributes to the optimisation of energy supply, increases the flexibility of the energy market, and supports the integration of renewable energies and the reduction of CO2 emissions. inovex can help you plan and implement your digitalisation strategy.
