簡介目錄

預計2021年全球虛擬電廠市場規模將達7.425億美元，預計2028年將達到2,678,012,000美元，預測期內複合年成長率為20.11%。

虛擬發電廠利用分散在整個網路中的各種分散式能源 (DER) 的集體能力，並根據這些 DER 的特點建立獨特的營運組合。虛擬發電廠可應用於多個領域，包括電動車充電器、家用電器、暖通空調設備和電池。虛擬電廠產業的快速成長很大程度上得益於可再生能源的擴張、電動車充電基礎設施的改善以及能源儲存技術的興起。

可再生能源的崛起正在推動虛擬發電廠市場的成長。

虛擬發電廠用於透過先進的軟體將太陽能電池板和風力發電機等可再生能源整合到電網中。全球對氣候變遷的日益關注以及減少溫室氣體排放的需求正在增加對可再生能源的需求，從而為虛擬發電廠市場的需求帶來了積極的前景。根據國際可再生能源機構預測，2022年全球風電裝置容量將增加75吉瓦，成長9%。太陽能發電也大幅成長，新增191吉瓦。

電動車充電基礎設施的增加正在推動虛擬發電廠市場的成長。

虛擬發電廠用於電動車充電基礎設施中，以管理和平衡電力負載。隨著電動車越來越普及，充電高峰尖峰時段的電力需求可能會對電網帶來壓力。虛擬發電廠透過對多種分散式能源進行全面控制，有助於穩定電網，使電力在高需求時期能夠有效分配。根據國際能源總署（IEA）統計，2022年美國安裝了約6,300個快速充電站，到當年年底，快速充電站累積數量達到28,000個。

新興的能源儲存系統將成為虛擬電廠市場擴張的驅動力。

虛擬發電廠可以有效地管理何時以及有多少儲存的能量釋放到電網中，根據即時供需狀況最佳化儲能系統的使用，從而能源儲存系統。考慮到風能和太陽能等再生能源來源的間歇性，這一點尤其重要。可再生能源的採用和投資的增加推動了能源儲存系統的成長，這推動了虛擬發電廠市場的成長。根據國際能源總署（IEA）預測，2022年全球電池能源儲存投資將超過200億美元，呈現強勁成長態勢。這一勢頭預計將持續下去，到 2023 年投資額預計將超過 350 億美元。

預計北美將主導虛擬發電市場。

由於該地區的大量投資和協作努力，北美在虛擬發電廠市場中佔有重要佔有率。在北美，各種公司、公用事業和政府機構正在投入大量資金來擴大VPP計劃。例如，2020年，Sidewalk基礎設施合作夥伴宣布將投入1億美元用於OhmConnect的擴張。這筆巨額投資將用於建立Resi-Station，該電廠將成為北美最大的虛擬發電廠。

高昂的初始成本限制了虛擬電廠市場的成長。

建立這些系統所需的大量初始投資可能會阻礙虛擬電廠 (VPP) 產業的發展。開發虛擬發電廠需要整合各種能源（每種能源都有自己的成本），並安裝複雜的控制和通訊基礎設施。這些因素的結合需要大量的初始投資，這可能是一個挑戰，特別是對於預算有限或位於較貧困地區的公司。因此，如此高的進入障礙限制了VPP的普及，成為整個VPP產業擴張的重大阻礙力。

A Virtual Power Plant harnesses the combined capacity of various distributed energy resources (DERs) spread throughout the network, creating a unique operational portfolio tailored to the specific characteristics of these DERs. Virtual power plants find applicability in several areas, including EV chargers, home appliances, HVAC equipment, and batteries. The escalating growth of the virtual power plant industry is largely propelled by the expanding renewable energy, improved EV charging infrastructure, and emerging energy storage technologies.

Increasing renewable energy drives virtual power plant market growth.

Virtual Power Plants are used in integrating renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines into the power grid through advanced software. The rising demand for renewable energy due to growing global concern about climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has provided a positive outlook to the market demand for virtual power plants. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, in 2022, global wind energy capacity experienced a boost of 75 GW, marking a growth of 9%. Solar photovoltaic power also saw a significant expansion, with an addition of 191 GW.

Increasing EV charging infrastructure bolsters the virtual power plant market growth.

Virtual Power Plants are used in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure by managing and balancing the electricity load. Due to the increasing EV adoption, the demand for power during peak charging times can stress the electrical grid. Virtual power plants, through their integrated control of diverse distributed energy resources, help to stabilize the grid, ensuring that power is effectively allocated during these high-demand periods. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2022, the United States witnessed the installation of approximately 6,300 fast charging stations and by the close of the year, the cumulative number of fast charging stations hit 28,000.

Emerging energy storage systems drive the virtual power plant market expansion.

Virtual Power Plants are instrumental in energy storage systems because they can efficiently manage when and how much stored energy to release into the grid, optimizing the use of energy storage systems based on real-time demand and supply conditions. This facilitates a more stable and reliable grid, particularly important given the intermittency of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. The growth of energy storage systems is driven by increasing renewable energy deployment and investments which is driving the virtual power plant market's growth. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2022, worldwide investments in battery energy storage surpassed USD 20 billion, showcasing robust growth. The momentum is set to continue, with projected investments for 2023 reaching a record of over USD 35 billion.

North America is projected to dominate the virtual power market.

North America will hold a significant share of the virtual power plant market due to the region's significant investment and collaborative efforts. Substantial financial commitments are being made by various companies, utilities, and government bodies to scale up VPP projects in North America. For instance, in 2020, Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners disclosed their pledge of $100 million towards OhmConnect to scale its operations. This substantial investment is earmarked for the establishment of Resi-Station, which is set to become North America's most extensive virtual power plant.

High initial cost restrains the virtual power plant market growth.

The growth of the virtual power plant (VPP) industry can be hindered by the significant initial investment necessary to establish these systems. The development of a VPP involves the integration of a wide array of energy resources, each with its costs, and the installation of sophisticated control and communication infrastructures. These components when combined constitute a sizable initial expenditure, which can prove challenging for some companies or regions, particularly those with budget constraints or in poor areas. This high financial barrier to entry can therefore curtail the widespread adoption of VPPs, acting as a notable deterrent in the overall expansion of the VPP industry.

Key Developments

June 2023: Tesla launched an initiative to debut its Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) in Texas that will provide Powerwall owners with the opportunity to monetize their systems. By enabling them to supply excess power back to the local grid during emergencies, this innovative approach not only aids in stabilizing the power supply but also creates a new income stream for Powerwall owners, all while bolstering grid resilience.
April 2023: SunPower, a prominent provider of solar technology and energy services, joined forces with OhmConnect, a leader in residential energy flexibility, to roll out a new Virtual Power Plant (VPP) service. This innovative offering is now available to SunPower's customers throughout California, marking a significant step in expanding the state's renewable energy infrastructure.
April 2023: Gogoro Inc partnered with Enel X, a worldwide innovator in energy services including Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). As part of their collaboration, 2,500 battery swapping stations will be commercially launched across 1,000 sites, integrated into Enel X's Virtual Power Plant. This strategic initiative is poised to bolster Taiwan's transition to renewable energy, showcasing an effective combination of advanced battery technology and virtual power plant systems.
November 2021: SunPower Corp. unveiled its Virtual Power Plant (VPP) solution. This innovative initiative allows SunVault energy storage customers to generate earnings by permitting utilities to draw upon their stored energy during periods of peak demand. Not only does this provide a financial incentive for customers, but it also aids in establishing a more reliable power grid within their local communities.
November 2020: Siemens broadened the application of virtual power plants in the industrial sector with a new contract at the Finnish brewery Sinebrychoff. Siemens crafted a unique business model geared towards propelling the brewery to the next tier of energy optimization. The model comprises a virtual power plant (VPP) and cutting-edge energy storage technology, supported by comprehensive financing solutions. This strategic implementation, set to take place at Sinebrychoff's facility in the greater Helsinki area, will mark one of the first instances of power flexibility within an industrial site.
