Spark Your Imagination: Eneco's Virtual Power Plant
summary
A Virtual Power Plant built over 2.5 years controls second‑by‑second telemetry (≈30 fields) from hundreds of assets and aggregates 500 greenhouse-style devices with plans for 15,000. Architecture uses Azure Kubernetes, Kafka, Event Hubs, Cosmos, SQL and ADX; switching Service Bus→Event Hubs, asset-key partitioning, in‑pod caching and telemetry buffering eliminates duplicate calculations and cuts Cosmos IO and cost. Leader election via Kubernetes client‑go prevents duplicate dispatches (misses ≤ one cycle); an outbox gives transactional publishes and saves ~20–40ms per request.
