VPP will have the size required to participate as a separate big player in the
energy market, unifying the microgrids and removing the need for subsidies.
In addition pupils will actively learn about sustainable development, green
electricity, economics, physics, computer programming, etc by getting
involved in monitoring and evaluating the different parameters (location,
solar radiation, sunshine hours, climate, etc) that affect power production
and consumption.
