Solar supplies electricity.
Available solar generation can supply the site’s electrical system.

From a local need to a coordinated response.
Follow how connected energy assets share operating information, receive instructions and contribute to a Virtual Power Plant.
Discuss your energy strategyOne community. One energy need.
Follow the response, step by step.
A need emerges.
Electricity demand rises in the community.
The VPP considers how participating resources can contribute. This example follows a higher-demand period through the system, from the first operating information to the response that returns.
The assets share their status.
Equipment information travels toward Parsecc DERMS.
AIoT controllers send equipment readings and operating updates. This information helps establish what connected generation, batteries and suitable controllable loads can contribute.
A response takes shape.
Available resources are considered alongside site needs.
Parsecc DERMS brings the available resources into an operating plan shaped by equipment limits and site requirements. Each participating asset has a role within those boundaries.
Instructions reach the equipment.
The operating plan is communicated to participating assets.
Controllers carry instructions to compatible generation, batteries and suitable controllable loads. Equipment carries out its assigned role through its own physical connections and controls.
The response is checked.
Equipment updates complete the communication loop.
Operating information returns to Parsecc DERMS so the team can assess what happened. Comparing the response with the plan informs the next operating decision.
Illustrative higher-demand scenario. The operating roles depend on participating equipment and site requirements.
Three paths. Different jobs.
Follow the signal.
Explore what moves through the system and where it goes.
Assets report their operating status.
Equipment readings travel through AIoT controllers to Parsecc DERMS, informing the operating picture.
Instructions travel back to the assets.
Parsecc DERMS communicates the operating plan through controllers to participating equipment.
Electricity follows physical connections.
Generation and batteries can supply connected electrical systems. Flexible demand changes consumption. Software coordinates the equipment; electricity travels through physical electrical connections.
Conceptual paths, not an electrical wiring plan. Battery discharge is shown in the energy view; a battery can also charge through suitable equipment and connections.

What happens at one site?
A battery holds energy for later.
Storage can charge when appropriate and discharge when its energy is needed, within system limits.

Understand the offering Explore the equipment connections See the operating workflowDoes electricity travel through Parsecc?
No. Parsecc DERMS coordinates equipment through communications. Electricity travels through the equipment’s physical electrical connections.
Does every resource respond in the same way?
Each resource contributes according to its capabilities and limits. Generation supplies available electricity, storage manages energy held for later, and flexible demand adjusts suitable consumption.
Does joining a VPP automatically provide backup power?
Backup operation requires suitable equipment, available energy and a site electrical design that supports safe operation during an outage. The connection to coordinating software is one part of the wider system.
