Smart Demand Response solutions
that support the Energy Transition.

At Velocity Energy, we are supporting the energy transition to renewable energy through a smart Virtual Power Plant solution.

Our Virtual Power Plant (VPP) supplies flexible, responsive, and reliable reserve capacity to increase the energy available during peak demand events and supports the variability of renewable energy.

Harnessing surplus capacity from existing standby generators, our VPP accelerates decarbonisation by reducing the need for investments in new coal-fired power plants to meet peak demand events. 

Advantages of Velocity Energy’s VPP.

Generators owners earn extra income by participating in our VPP program, enjoy more generator reliability through better monitoring and maintenance, and strengthen their green credentials.

Energy distributors access rapid and reliable reserve capacity to smooth out peak demand events, improve network reliability, and support the variability of renewable energy.

Energy retailers gain a cost-effective hedge that assists in managing market risks and reducing financial losses.

How does our VPP work?

  • Velocity Energy provides end-to-end services to connect generators to the grid
  • Energy distributors pay Velocity Energy to manage and hold power in reserve
  • Velocity Energy shares the payments from energy distributors with the generator owners
  • Velocity Energy provides 24/7 remote monitoring of generators, ensuring 100% reliable power through regular on-load runs and optional maintenance
  • During peak demand, Velocity Energy activates the generators remotely to provide additional power immediately
  • Coal-fired power stations are able to reduce or defer investment in standby capacity as each megawatt of capacity connected through a VPP is a megawatt that does not have to be held in reserve
  • Velocity Energy support weather-dependent renewable energy as our VPP can be turned up and down immediately in response to fluctuations in renewable energy supply.

Specialist Expertise in Demand Management

Velocity Energy has a proven history as a technology enabler and operator of demand response and virtual power stations for healthcare facilities, Australia Post, and airports. 

We offer specialised consulting to connect standby generators to the grid, optimise existing generators by addressing risks, faults and safety issues, and custom design, build, and install our Elektra control system which:

  • allows the automatic synchronisation of generators powered by gas, diesel, or biofuel
  • provides integrated control for managing and optimising demand in smart grids
  • parallel to grid testing and soft transfer on recovery of mains grid supply
  • automated aggregated, dispatch capacity to distributors and retailers via our Andonis reserve capacity dispatch system which also provides 24 hour real-time monitoring, manages fuel reserves and provides load management control.
