Australian Utility, Evoenergy,
. . . is exploring numerous ways to manage demand, through
. . . Virtual Power Plants (VPP).

In its multi-demand response test, Evoenergy signed up
. . . 402 batteries and linked them into the VPP,
. . . through control systems belonging to Reposit Power, Evergen and ActewAGL.

During the test,
. . . 367 batteries responded to a signal from Evoenergy, and
. . . dispatched energy into the grid.

“At scale,” said Evoenergy,
. . . “we would be able to strategically, and quickly,
. . . reduce enough load on the ACT electricity network,
. . . to avoid load-shedding in almost all circumstances.”

Virtual Power Plant, used to avoid a substation upgrade,
. . . could save Evoenergy around
. . . USD $1.6 million.
