How VPPs Reduce Both Costs and Emission in Meeting Peak Demands. The emergence of virtual power plants (VPPs) as bona fide replacements for fossil fuel peaker plants has been discussed conceptually, but is there data to support this opportunity? combustion turbines burning natural gas or oil meet most of the peak power demands.

Nuclear Industry Association (NIA), RenewableUK and Solar Energy UK team up to demand clearer, ambitious clean energy goals. However, today the UK's main clean energy trade bodies warned that an acceleration in clean power capacity deployment is required if emissions goals and rising demand for electricity is to be met.

In addition, National Grid's analysis, which is updated each year with several potential scenarios for how the UK could feasibly decarbonise its energy system, estimates that roughly 3GW of wind and 1.4GW of solar power would also need to be installed annually until mid-century to keep up with power demand.

With a power grid that has been notoriously unreliable in the past, India’s goal to transform formerly passive consumers into prosumers would seem an uphill battle. Its electricity demand reached an all-time demand peak of 223 gigawatts (GW) this past June, and projections indicate it could hit 340 GW by the decade’s end.

New energy resources in the form of renewables, new loads such as electric vehicles, new energy storage technologies and the new integrated service models to accompany these are characterising the evolving power networks of today. Also, software-defined terminals are used to analyze line loss within minutes.

Our energy systems are being transformed by the dramatic increase in distributed energy resources (DER) that are now populating power grids around the world. Ironically, electric vehicles (EVs), the most challenging DER asset, could also be the most transformative of all. Luckily, there is good news on that front.
