Operation transformation with Virtual Protection and Control (VPAC)
Virtual Protection and Control (VPAC) systems are transforming the management of power systems by leveraging software-based solutions for enhanced flexibility and efficiency. This presentation explores the application of VPAC in Microgrids and data center power supply systems, focusing on its role in improving reliability, scalability, and cybersecurity. It discusses how VPAC enables dynamic protection and control in microgrids, facilitating seamless integration of distributed energy resources and real-time response to grid conditions. For data centers, VPAC ensures uninterrupted power delivery and rapid fault isolation, critical for high-availability operations. The presentation addresses implementation challenges, including interoperability, cybersecurity risks, and system redundancy, while highlighting case studies of successful VPAC deployments. By adopting VPAC, stakeholders can achieve robust, adaptable power management for microgrids and datacenters, supporting resilient and sustainable energy ecosystems.
