Tesla has a new product called Virtual Machine Mode coming to its Big Battery
Summary
Tesla has a new product called “Virtual Machine Mode,” and it is being deployed at its energy storage project in South Australia, nicknamed “Tesla Big Battery,” in partnership with France’s Neoen. Over the last few years, Tesla has put a lot of effort into developing software products to take better advantage of its rapidly growing fleet of energy storage capacity. In 2020, Electrek spotted a previously unknown new product from Tesla: Autobidder. A few months later, Electrek revealed Tesla Powerhub, a monitoring system for energy assets. Megapack’s built-in inverters with Virtual Machine Mode create grid-forming dynamics that provide grid strength, respond to added and rejected loads and maintain quality voltage at the point of interconnection.
