GROWATT SPH 3000 Energy Storage System

Product Information: Virtual Power Plant Control of Energy Storage System

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network that combines decentralized power consumed units, power generating, and storage systems into a dispatchable unit. This allows for flexibility in power markets by dispatching power on demand according to market needs. VPPs enable small decentralized energy resources (DERs) to participate in electricity or ancillary service markets, simplifying the trading of energy between thousands or millions of DERs.

VPP Work in Solar Energy Storage Systems

GROWATT offers an energy storage solution that can be used in VPP applications. The system allows for API communication, where system information can be uploaded to the cloud through the Internet. By establishing an API communication with the server, the VPP provider can remotely dispatch the system. This enables the system to respond to the demand as needed in the energy market.

GROWATT also provides VPP control interfaces in their energy storage system, such as SPH 3000-6000TL BL-UP and SPH 4000-1000TL3 BH-UP. These systems can communicate with the VPP control module offered by the VPP provider through RS485 using Modbus protocol. The VPP control module captures and controls the GROWATT system, uploading all the information into their central control platform.

Benefits of Energy Storage System in VPP Application

1. Users can be paid for surplus solar power fed into the grid and receive additional subsidies on top of the normal solar feed-in tariff.
2. Users can gain discounted electricity rates through a VPP provider that also functions as an electricity retailer.
3. Reduces electricity costs associated with battery charging and discharging in Time-of-Use (TOU) tariff.
4. Allows the use of the battery to balance supply and demand, preventing blackouts during times of high power demand, such as hot summer days.
5. Provides reserve capacity and voltage support for the grid through reactive power control.

Virtual Power Plant Control of Energy Storage System

What are VPPs?

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network incorporating decentralized power consumed units, power generating and storage systems that together function as a dispatchable unit, which can bring their flexibility to power markets. This means power can be dispatched on demand, according to market needs, to enable small decentralized energy resources (DERs) to participate in electricity or ancillary service markets, and reduce the complexity of trading energy between thousands or millions of DERs.

How does VPP work in solar energy storage systems?
The surplus solar energy in many individual home batteries can be combined and dispatched remotely by a VPP provider into a larger energy source. All batteries can be regarded as mini power stations in the network, and they can deliver renewable electricity to the grid and provide grid support services on demand. With the VPP, it willimprove the efficiency of electricity generated by roof solar or other renewable powersources and it can bring extra revenue to the home owners by participatingin grid services.

GROWATT energy storage solution in VPP application

API Communication Solution
All the GROWATT energy storage system can upload the system information into the could through the Internet, and receives a command from the servers, which provides an approach to dispatch the system remotely. The VPP provider can establish an API communication with our sever to pull and push the data, enabling the systems to respond to the demand as the energy market needed.

Local Modbus communication solution

GROWATT also offers the VPP control interfaces in our energy storage system, such as SPH 3000-6000TL BL-UP and SPH 4000-1000TL3 BH-UP. Our system can communicate with the VPP control module which is offered by VPP provider through RS485 by Modbus protocol. The VPP control module can capture and control our system and upload all the information into their central control platform.

Benefits of energy storage system in VPP application

1. Users can be paid for the surplus solar power feeding into the grid and receive an additional subsidy besides normal solar feed-in tariff
2. Users can gain discounted electricity rates through a VPP provider that is also an electricity retailer.
3. Reduce the electricity costs related to battery charging and discharging in TOU tariff
4. Use the battery to balance the supply and demand to prevent blackouts during times of high power demand, such as the hottest days of summer.
5. Providing reserve capacity, voltage support for the grid through reactive power control.
