In virtual power plants, decentralized generators, storage systems and controllable loads, such as emergency generators or production systems, form a flexible and adjustable combination. Intelligently synchronizing these reduces loads on the power grid. WAGO Telecontrollers meet the requirements of the VHPready 4.0 communication standard, ensuring trouble-free connection of systems. Advantages of WAGO's solution:
- Trouble-free connection of individual systems to the virtual power plant
- Standardization of the objects and variables of different communication protocols with VHPready
- Communication via predefined profiles using explicitly defined data point lists
- Definition of domain-specific determinations like the specifications for operating behavior and reaction times via VHPready – this way, plants can be controlled via timetables.
- Cybersecurity: PFC100/PFC200 Controllers comply with current IT security regulations for grid operators and can be hardened as described in the BDEW white paper.
- Cloud connectivity: Connection to the cloud thanks to an MQTT software upgrade
