AI has used Toshiba and IoT technology to develop a virtual power plant (VPP) before what it predicts will be the creation of a new VPP market in 2021. The VPP will enable small, remote power generation points to be managed and used for load-levelling purposes, which will store excess power from renewables and deliver energy during periods of high demand. AI said that multiple small-scale power generation facilities could potentially be based in offices, factories, homes and EVs.
