Virtual power plants in the energy system
Place virtual power plants inside the energy system and its role is connection: it links supply on one end with demand on the other, balancing them through dispatch and storage. Doing it right once saves rework. Long-run operational data, not raw installed capacity, is what makes a conclusion hold up, so we watch utilization and coordination efficiency as the real scorecard.
Local practice in Yantai
Across Yantai districts and counties, virtual power plants is not rolled out all at once. We start with pilot samples, get the process running, then scale step by step. The principle is simple: better a bit slower than to leave later maintenance behind. Mind cost and standards linkage. The transition is a marathon, and patience matters more than speed.
Our view at Dongshang New Energy
As practitioners, our stance on virtual power plants is optimistic for the long term and pragmatic in the short term. Yantai Dongshang New Energy keeps following directions such as solar-storage-charging, putting locally suitable practices steadily on the ground. Watch maturity, not just marketing. We prefer small, verified steps: validate, expand, iterate, so every move holds up under review.
