Session Abstract
9:00 - 9:45 am EDT
VPPs: Definitons, Segments & Regional Differences in Market Structures and Applications
The term "virtual power plant" means different things to different stakeholders in different parts of the world. This presentation will attempt to impose some structure on what Pike Research has determined are four key VPP market segments: supply-side VPPs; demand response VPPs; mixed asset VPPs; and wholesale auction VPPs.
The presentation will show what sorts of policy drivers currently exist in key global markets, highlight market forecasts through 2017, and then use a few case studies to illustrate the diversity of approaches to creating an "Internet of Energy" from a diverse set of distributed resources that include solar PV, diesel generators, advanced storage, demand response and electric vehicles.
Note: For quality purposes, this presentation was be pre-recorded on July 18 for initial broadcast during
this V-Summit. The live Q&A discussion on July 26 will begin at 9:30 am EDT and go for approximately 15 minutes.
