A virtual power plant aggregates distributed energy resources like solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles to function as a single power plant. It differs from a microgrid in that it does not have a local distribution network and instead uses existing infrastructure to supply power to the main grid. Virtual power plants help integrate renewable energy sources and provide more flexibility to balance electricity supply and demand.
