Virtual power plants (VPPs) represent a pivotal evolution in power system management, offering dynamic solutions to the challenges of renewable energy integration, grid stability, and demand-side management. Originally conceived as a concept to aggregate small-scale distributed energy resources, VPPs have evolved into sophisticated enablers of diverse
But now the company is expanding beyond just EV battery swapping by teaming up with Enel X to create virtual power plants (VPPs) from its GoStations. The Taiwanese battery swapping company Gogoro is active across a half dozen countries, but its domestic market is by far its largest with thousands of local battery swapping stations
Germany-headquartered and Shell-owned sonnen has announced that its virtual power plant (VPP) has reached capacity of 250MWh, claimed to be the largest in Europe to date. The VPP consists of tens of thousands of sonnenBatteries throughout Germany, states sonnen, which are intelligently controlled and can be used as large-scale storage.
This model allows BSS operators to optimize the battery status and its power service activity within stations, ensuring peak performance when needed. Additionally, the model takes into

Fully acquired by Shell in 2019, sonnen also operates virtual power plants in the USA, Australia and Italy. Earlier this year saw company join the VP3 alliance in the US, which hopes to develop and scale up VPP technology. sonnen's virtual power plant (VPP) has reached capacity of 250MWh, claiming to be the largest in Europe to date.
In announcing the successful launch, Horace Luke, founder and CEO of Gogoro, commented on the significance of using battery swapping technology within a VPP: “It is the first time this technology has been deployed this way in the world, and it creates a new Gogoro revenue stream beyond mobility.
(AP Photo/Ng Han Guan) Battery swapping allows EV drivers to pull into a station on a low battery and receive a swapped, fully-charged battery within minutes. An EV has to be equipped with the right technology to receive a swap — and not many models around the world currently have it.
Catch up on the developing stories from around the globe making headlines. XIAMEN, China -- The world's largest maker of batteries for electric vehicles said Wednesday it will get into battery swapping in China in a big way starting next year. The idea behind battery swapping is to refuel quickly, similar to filling a conventional car with gas.
