The virtual power plant is a cleantech innovation that uses customer-owned smart thermostats, rooftop solar, energy storage and other connected resources such as water pumps to adjust power usage.
It uses software to"aggregate and coordinate the functions of a collection of small-scale, decentralized resources located at customers' homes and businesses to meet grid needs," an SDG&E statement read.
According to the utility company, its VPP pilot differs from others due to the sheer range of devices it incorporates. It"involves multiple brands and types of devices including smart thermostats, well water controllers and battery energy storage systems," a company statement reads.
