VPP event calculator

An illustration of how a fleet of identical home batteries adds up for one event. Every input is yours to change. The defaults are the page's example: Powerwall 3 North America datasheet (2024) figures of 11.5 kW and 13.5 kWh nominal, plus assumed participation, state of charge and reserve. Not a programme result.

Method: energy above reserve = kWh x (SoC - reserve), never below zero. Output per battery = the smaller of the rated kW and that energy divided by the event hours. Fleet MW = batteries taking part x output. Uses one average state of charge for every battery. That is exact only if no battery is below its reserve or at its power limit. Otherwise it can under- or over-state the total. Discharge losses are ignored because the datasheet energy is AC. Thousands commas are accepted (1,000). Write decimals as 13.5 or 13,5; "1.000" is refused as unclear. A design aid, not a quote.
