Virtual Power Plant Market Overview:

An aggregate decentralized power plant, or virtual power plant, is made up of decentralized power systems that incorporate several dispersed power sources, such as hydroelectric facilities, wind turbines, and photovoltaic solar cells. In order to trade, produce, and sell power sources in the market, a virtual power plant is a distributed power plant driven by the cloud that integrates distributed energy resource volumes.

According to MRFR, the global Virtual Power Plant Market is projected to grow from USD 0.25 billion in 2022 to USD 1.5 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 29.6% during the forecast period.

Energy is created and delivered by exercising small-scale technologies like wind turbines, solar cells, geothermal systems, and micro hydropower plants in the present's decentralized energy distribution networks worldwide. During power outages and periods of high energy demand, distributed generating systems, particularly when coupled with heat and power and emergency generators, can be used to deliver electricity. Expanded attention to decarbonization, electrification, digitalization and advancements in power production and storage technologies are substantial reasons for speeding the transition to distributed energy.

Due to the cost-cogency of renewable technology, distributed generating is getting more popular. Moreover, local and state government policies and laws support the higher deployment of renewable technologies because of their benefits, like as cheaper CAPEX and energy security driving the virtual power plant market growth.

The culturing investments for setting up new Virtual Power Plants are being witnessed as a substantial trend in the virtual power plant market. Conventional power plants demand huge capital for construction as well as management. Whereas, a Virtual Power Plant is a centralized control system, connected to power generating and transmitting units, which requires less capital and can integrate varied distributed energy resources. Worldwide players such as Tesla Inc. have declared large-scale investment plans for setting up Virtual Power Plants.
