In a significant demonstration of distributed energy potential, over 100,000 home batteries in California participated in a coordinated virtual power plant test event last week. Analysis by The Brattle Group revealed promising outcomes, showcasing the collective capacity of residential energy storage systems. This event highlighted the emerging technology's ability to support grid stability and provide an alternative to traditional power generation methods. By aggregating numerous small-scale battery systems, the test underscored the potential for homeowners to contribute to a more resilient and flexible electrical infrastructure.
