Virtual power plant creation
Honeywell is working with power-management company Stor Generation to help organisations automatically adjust energy use in their buildings, creating virtual power plants (VPPs) to help stabilise the electrical grid.
Stor Generation will use Honeywell’s automated demand response (ADR) technology to connect with facilities and aggregate energy savings tied to temporary adjustments in heating and cooling equipment, and other building systems.
The same technology can combine and feed power from onsite generators into the grid. Companies and public entities that participate are compensated for their involvement.
