Virtual power plants, or VPPs, are an emerging technology with the potential to facilitate the shift from centralised to decentralised energy, provide additional income for battery system owners, and support network stability and system balancing.
On completion, participants will understand the fundamentals of VPPs, the value proposition for participants, how to compare offerings from different VPP operators, and the challenges facing the VPP industry going forward. The course consists of three videos totalling 15 minutes, with a short quiz after each, and there are no prerequisites.

No risk to try it. Finish the course and the full $45 lands back with you automatically, part of every paid course carrying a completion refund.
