A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a technology platform that orchestrates flexible demand assets (equipment, generators, and BESS), and offers them as a single resource to support the grid. Our VPP aggregates these assets to participate in Demand Response and Ancillary Services programs. Businesses contribute their capacity by being flexible with when they use grid power, by either powering down or switching to backup power sources in response to a grid signal. This enables more efficient use of energy infrastructure, while helping to guarantee power quality and grid security.
The energy transition
As we build more renewable power each year, we need new forms of power capacity that ensure the reliability of the power grid while balancing the natural variability of renewables.
The world is facing the challenges of climate change, and the second energy transition will encompass diverse green energy sources, deep energy conservation, and advanced energy storage solutions. In addition to ensuring a stable power supply, it is essential to steadily progress toward the goal of net-zero transformation.
Flexible demand
Businesses already have existing assets that they can activate. The principle of flexible demand is simple: businesses make temporary adjustments to a power consumption based on conditions on the power grid or opportunities in the wholesale power market.
Manufacturing + industrial process equipment
Commercial HVAC + refrigeration systems
Backup power assets
Battery energy storage
Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
How businesses can participate?
Demand Response is one of the most promising options available to support renewable power, and is expected to play a large role in Taiwan’s future power system. The Day-ahead Ancillary Service Market in Taiwan Power Company’s (TPC) Energy Trading Platform has been created to allow VPPs to offer Ancillary Services into the wholesale electricity market and get paid for it.
Enel X is the market leader in VPPs and Demand Response, with a comprehensive service that helps businesses maximise what they can earn from Taiwan’s Ancillary Services Demand Response program. Many businesses across Taiwan are well-suited to participate, and are seizing this new opportunity to significantly improve their bottom line while supporting a cleaner and more competitive future for Taiwan.
