What Wikipedia says

A virtual power plant (VPP) is a system for aggregating distributed energy resources (DERs) to function as a single power plant. Operators coordinate these resources to balance supply and demand, provide grid services, and participate in energy markets. A VPP typically sells its output to an electric utility.
