ThingsLog VPP Key Benefits
ThingsLog virtual power plants enable the distributed integration of various types of generators with battery storage to maximize profits from energy generation.
Provides transparent information on energy generation in real time
Creates a database with energy generation data for each specific location
Optimizes profits while limits imbalances to ensure efficient energy management.
Ensures compliance with environmental regulations
ThingsLog VPP is a vital tool for distributed management and monitoring of energy generators, battery storage and load. The ThingsLog virtual power plant provides real time data on energy generation from all possible power plants. This information can be used to assess combined energy generation and use the information for distributed energy generator control.
The solution is highly configurable and consists of control boards with telemetry suitable for distributed energy monitoring and control. All boards communicate with our data loggers that transmit over LPWAN the data to ThingsLog cloud platform. Our devices are designed for use in a broad range of environments, making them an ideal solution for both indoor or outdoor installation.
ThingsLog VPP is independent from the solar power plant inverter manufacturer, or wind turbine or battery storage control software. It could be integrated with market pricing information, meteo forecasts and allows distributed autonomus virtual power plant control based on market information.
VPP (Virtual Power Plant): FAQs
Find clear answers about deployment, integration, data collection, and distributed energy monitoring and control.
What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?
A Virtual Power Plant is a system that aggregates distributed energy resources (such as solar, storage, and controllable loads) and manages them as a coordinated resource for monitoring, optimisation, and control.
How does the ThingsLog VPP solution work?
The ThingsLog VPP solution connects distributed assets to a central platform that monitors performance, collects operational data, and supports optimisation and automation workflows for coordinated operation.
What assets can be connected to the ThingsLog VPP solution?
Typical assets include renewable generation (PV), battery storage, industrial loads, and metering points. Integration options depend on site interfaces and communication availability.
How does VPP monitoring improve operational control?
Central monitoring provides visibility across multiple sites, supports performance tracking, detects anomalies early, and enables faster response through alerts and automation.
Can the VPP solution integrate with external energy management systems?
Yes. The platform can integrate through APIs and standard interfaces, supporting data exchange with other energy management or dispatch systems.
