In coordinating DERs across multiple customers and sites, a VPP can respond to grid imbalances of varying degrees and durations, thereby providing more collective flexibility to the grid than a single DER would by itself. It can include commercial and\/or residential DERs and may be composed of a single type of resource or a mix.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async
