A virtual power plant aims to optimize the electrical transmission and distribution network by reducing the demand supply gap and making the electrical supply chain transparent and traceable to mitigate the issue of power outage. While installing a virtual power plant system, many industries and power utilities prefer to use efficient, economical, and environment-friendly solutions to meet their growing demand. Virtual power plants can be technical or commercial-based on the feature that the system provides, such as maximum capacity output of each distributed generation unit, strategy for the controllable loads during the peak hours, optimized energy prices and bilateral contracts between the energy supplier and consumer.

The increasing demand for power generation from renewable sources of energy across the globe has propelled the need for virtual power plant. Moreover, there is an increased concern for decentralized power generators in the electricity distribution supply chain to reduce the electricity demand. The growth of the market is likely to be encouraged by increasing demand for decentralized power generation, growing demand for renewable sources of energy, and favorable government initiatives to mitigate power outages.

BIS Research Report: https://bisresearch.com/industry-report/virtual-power-plant-market.html

According to Anirban Banerjee, Analyst at BIS Research, "Distributed generation, demand response, and mixed assets are the major technologies used by the virtual power plant solution providers for grid optimization and aggregation of distributed energy resources. In 2018, demand response technology-based virtual power plant accounted for more than 60% of the total virtual power plant market. During the forecast period, mixed assets technology-based virtual power plant is expected to display the highest growth of 33.09% owing to the increasing concerns over continuous source of power supply for bidirectional flow of electricity."

As of 2018, the industrial sector was the largest consumer of virtual power plant, followed by commercial and residential sectors, respectively. The industrial consumers include power utilities, small-scale enterprises, and manufacturing industries. At present, major focus of industrial consumers is on reducing the energy cost and achieve continuous electricity supply so as to meet the required demand. The consistent electricity supply can be achieved by intelligent integration of various energy generation sources present at the industrial site within the virtual power plant software. Region-wise, North America is expected to remain the dominant market for virtual power plant in the forecast period, with the U.S. being the manufacturing hub for the virtual power plant. However, regions such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East are expected to witness a robust growth in the next five years, owing to their increasing dependence on renewable energy sources.

The competitive landscape for the virtual power plant market demonstrates an inclination toward companies adopting strategies such as mergers and acquisitions as well as business expansions. Industry leaders in this market are opting for this strategy to maintain their market position and prevent new entrants from expanding their operations in the market.
