Virtual Power Plants Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, TrePosted by Jitendra Magar on March 13th, 2018 Market Highlights The most recent virtual power plant concept has various definitions that agree upon the fact that the virtual power plant is an aggregation of distributed generation units of different technologies. This is required operate as a single power plant and has the ability to control the aggregated units and to manage the electrical energy flow between these units to obtain better operation of the system. Virtual power plants consist of three main components, distributed energy resources, energy storage systems and information and communication technologies. Distributed energy can be either distributed generators or controllable loads connected to the network. Energy storage systems and its elements play a vital role in bridging the gap between the generation and demand, specifically in the presence of high diffusion of stochastic generation. The energy management system (EMS) signifies the soul of the information and communication system. It accomplishes the process of other virtual power plant components through communication technologies in bidirectional ways. The global rise in the demand for renewable energy in the power generation sector is creating a lucrative market for virtual power plant. The dynamic changes in the power grids from centralized to distributed, also the reduced cost of the electricity and easy access to store energy in energy storage devices such as batteries is propelling the global virtual power plant market. However, the growing health concerns over the human exposure to high frequency of electromagnetic and radio waves is restraining the potential of market growth at different end-user level. Contrarily, the emerging shift toward electric automobiles and promotion of smart offices and buildings with smart grids, is expected to create an immense opportunity in the global virtual power plant market. The Global Virtual Power Plants Market is expected to grow at ~ 22% CAGR during the forecast period. Get Sample of Report @ https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/sample_request/5583
