Virtual power plant solutions enable owners to combine their energy generation and storage assets, creating virtual resource groups with combined capacity. Asset owners can monitor and coordinate groups of assets to respond to market conditions. Utilities and system operators use the aggregated power to provide firm capacity and ancillary services. This functionality comes integrated with the Honeywell Experion Energy Control System.

Virtual Power Plants: Flexible Grid Solutions for Modern Energy Demands
Honeywell energy solutions connect site-level energy systems, grid-scale infrastructure and advanced software to generate, distribute and manage energy more efficiently, including the coordination of distributed energy resources through virtual power plants (VPP).
While microgrids focus on controlling energy within a single site, virtual power plants (VPP) are designed to coordinate energy resources across multiple sites. A VPP allows owners to combine their energy generation and storage assets, creating virtual resource groups with combined capacity that may be eligible to participate in wholesale electricity markets. Individual asset owners can join an existing VPP with other asset owners or combine their fleet of assets for their own private VPP.
Honeywell delivers an integrated approach that aggregates and coordinates distributed energy resources across sites to participate in grid programs and energy markets.
