VIRTUAL POWER PLANT

Your Battery Can Support More Than Your Site

A battery can do more than store energy for your property.

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) connects suitable batteries through intelligent monitoring and coordinated control, allowing them to contribute to a larger flexible energy resource.

Savvy Power is developing smart energy solutions that prioritise your site’s needs while enabling future VPP participation and grid-support opportunities.

What Is a Virtual Power Plant?

Many Batteries. One Smarter Energy Resource.

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) connects distributed energy resources, including battery storage systems, through intelligent monitoring and coordinated control.

Participating batteries can respond to changing electricity demand and grid conditions while respecting each property’s energy requirements and battery operating limits.

By coordinating suitable systems, a VPP can provide greater energy flexibility, support the electricity network and create future opportunities for participating customers.

How Savvy Power VPP Works

Connected. Coordinated. Intelligent.

01 — Your Battery
Your existing battery remains connected to your property and continues to serve your site’s energy needs.
02 — Cloud Connection

Through secure communication, suitable battery systems can share operating data to support intelligent monitoring and coordinated control.

03 — Intelligent Coordination

Suitable participating batteries can be coordinated when an energy or grid event occurs.

Savvy Power Virtual Power Plant

Your battery can become part of a smarter New Zealand energy network.
VIRTUAL POWER PLANT

Your battery can support more than your site.

A Virtual Power Plant connects many distributed batteries together so they can act like one coordinated energy resource.

Savvy Power manages participating systems under agreed settings, helping support customer sites and the wider grid during important energy events.

LEARN MORE

Cloud Connected

Secure remote monitoring and battery control.

Battery Participation

Allows suitable batteries to operate as one shared resource.

Reduced Grid Import

Creates value by lowering demand, not only exporting power.

Future Energy Opportunity

Supports future grid services and energy market opportunities.

A Virtual Power Plant connects many distributed batteries together so they can act like one coordinated energy resource.
Savvy Power places participating customer systems into its VPP and manages them under agreed settings. This allows the battery to support the customer’s own site while also helping the wider grid during important events.
The battery does not always need to export power to create value. In many cases, simply reducing grid import during a peak event can support the grid and create benefit.

Grid Event Support

Support important peak events by reducing demand pressure on the network.

Cloud Connected

Savvy Power monitors battery status, site demand and available capacity.

Future Energy Opportunity

Suitable batteries may be able to participate in future gridsupport and energy market opportunities.
