VPP

Virtual power plant

Turn flexible load into grid revenue.

Enroll batteries, chargers and building loads across many sites, respond to utility and market events, and show what each site delivered.

Get Started

01 Overview

With Voltra you can enroll batteries, chargers and building loads across many sites, respond to utility and market events, and show what each site delivered.

Who runs it

  • Utilities
  • Aggregators
  • Fleets & depots
  • Commercial buildings

Used for

  • Program enrollment
  • Event dispatch
  • Site baselines
  • Opt-out handling
  • Portfolio forecasts
  • Settlement reports

02 Architecture

The modular energy stack

VPP is one module on a stack you can extend.

Products on top, Fabric in the middle, devices and data sources at the edge. Every product runs on the same Fabric, so a second product works from the devices and site model the first one already connected.

  1. /products

  2. /fabric

    Voltra Fabric

    The same platform under every product

    • Connect

      Devices over nine protocols, through versioned device profiles.

    • Model

      Every device and system as one vendor-agnostic graph.

    • Configure

      Devices made to work together from the model.

    • Maintain

      Connections and the model kept current as firmware and sites change.

  3. /edge

    Devices and data sources

    Connected where they are, over the protocols and formats they already use.

    • OpenADR
    • IEEE 2030.5
    • OCPP
    • Modbus
    • MQTT
    • Utility data

03 Features

VPP, feature by feature.

One portfolio view

Every flexible asset across every site, with what it can shed or shift right now.

Event handling

Receive events over OpenADR 2.0b, 3.0 or IEEE 2030.5 and fan them out to sites.

Site limits first

Dispatch never crosses a site’s own limits or a customer’s opt-out.

Baselines & performance

Measured delivery against baseline for every event, by site.

Customer opt-outs

Site owners can opt out of an event, and every decision is logged.

Program access

Enroll in utility and market programs through partners such as Leap.

Native integrations with the hardware you already use.

Voltra talks to devices over the protocols they already speak, so you keep the equipment you have. Each vendor below is mapped to one device model, so a new site comes online without custom integration work.

  • Tesla
  • Enphase
  • SolarEdge
  • SMA
  • Generac
  • Fluence
  • BYD
  • LG
  • ChargePoint
  • ecobee
