The underlying logic of a virtual power plant

A traditional power generation company wanted to participate in a virtual power plant, and the leader asked a question: Can my thermal power plant be a virtual power plant?

I said: You have a physical power plant, can you still call it a virtual power plant?

A physical power plant can be the same as a virtual power plant, providing frequency regulation and peak regulation services for the power system to earn income, but a physical power plant is not the same as a virtual power plant.

Another traditional power generation company wants to do a virtual power plant, but the actual landing project is actually a large amount of energy storage and charging pile investment, and then packaging these resources into a virtual power plant, using this concept to attract more investment.

There may be a thousand people, and there are a thousand virtual power plants.

The underlying logic of the virtual power plant I think:

is a true energy Internet application.

What is the energy Internet, I think it is the energy industry from the operation and management mode of the second industrial revolution to the fourth industrial revolution.
