Virtual power plant

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is like a big power plant, except instead of having one big power plant, it puts together lots of smaller power plants (called generating units) in different places. This works sort of like having lots of little power plants instead of just one big one. The VPP will then manage all of these units so that it looks like one big power plant. This can help make sure that energy is delivered to the right places.
