Consolidated Edison is launching a pilot program,
. . . 300 homes with a combined total of
. . . 1.8 megawatts of solar capacity, and batteries that can store up to
. . . 4 megawatt-hours of electricity, enough to run
. . . 300 average U.S. households for about
. . . 10 hours, all linked together, to form a
. . . Virtual Power Plant.
It will turn lots of distributed solar installations,
. . . into a flexible source of grid power,
. . . that can replace electricity from the fossil-fuel plants,
. . . which can also provide a backup source of power during outages
. . . and used to self-consume battery-stored, intermittent renewable energy.
