UNITY Platform for Energy Scheduling, Aggregation and VPP
Monitor and manage plant portfolios, Forecast,Predict and Estimate, Build your own solution
A VPP’s main attraction resides in its ability to mimic the action of a large thermal generator, ramping up and down in response to changes in the demand profile of the grid. This ramping can be achieved by selective curtailment or otherwise of distributed generation sources, or frequently through the inclusion of energy storage and/or demand response in the VPP asset mix.
Typically, clients of our Aggregator facility:
-
Asset Operators: Understand how energy trading works and take ownership with our established strategies and algorithms.
-
Power Traders: Implement user defined strategies, monitor and manage plant portfolios with real time data and power predictions
UNITY Integrated VPP platform unleash the power of your portfolio
Unique digital control room for distributed energy resources
The output of renewable energy assets is intermittent leading to headaches for system operators, and in response to this intelligent plant control is important in order to optimize grid integration.
In addition to this, as more and more projects go fully merchant or have some degree of a merchant tail, true market integration is key to maximizing investment returns.
Such challenges can be mastered out with the unique flexible PaaS solution by Inaccess.
Our virtual power plant control software is ideally positioned to cover the entire process from metering data recovery to delivering perfect scheduling and bidding in the markets.
